We are pleased and honored to present Vasile Moldovan, whose haiku was selected by an'ya to poem Mary Rodning's painting in the last issue.

Cofounder and chair of the Romanian Haiku Society, Vasile has published a number of books, most recently The Moon's Unseen Face (2001, tr. Christain-Mihail), reviewed and excerpted in the Spring 2004 Simply Haiku . His haiku appear in haiga by Kuniharu Shimizu and he contributes to Museki Abe's Photo Haiku gallery.
