award

I have just learned that I am one of eight recipients of the 2012 Touchstone Award for haiku, awarded by the Haiku Foundation

The Touchstone Awards for Individual Poems are bestowed annually on haiku and senryu that represent noteworthy additions to English-language haiku in the estimation of a distinguished panel of haiku poets, editors and scholars. The Awards are open to any English-language haiku or senryu published in the current calendar year.

Well done Bill - justly deserved. And I'm sure we're all saying Van Gogh aloud in our own ways now.
