Bombora Summer Meeting

Haiku @ The Oaks, Canberra

Light and Counterlight by Mark Miller

Mark Miller has recently had a new collection of haiku and senryu, Light and Counterlight, published by Ginninderra Press. ‘In Light and Counterlight it is especially Mark Miller’s unique view, his long experience and solid craft of writing that make his work look effortless.
