What a great week: your editor asked three of the finest “emerging voices” in the
world of haiku, and one of the most honored, for permission to share their haiku with you.
All immediately said they’d be delighted to appear at this humble site, despite not previously
knowing of it or me. Even Prof. Lessig would be pleased, and I’m most grateful (such riches!).
You met Matt Morden two days ago. Before I formally introduce Rebecca Lilly,
paul m., and George Swede, I offer one haiku from each of these new Honored Guests:
Mid-day heat–
chicken fat gleams
on the kitchen knife
Rebecca Lilly
opening a crate
of ripe cantaloupes
summer dawn
paul m.

dating again
my sister opens the fridge
then closes it

- Forgiving all solos’ loans? Sorry, Carolyn, I dissent.
- Very good editorial on the voting rights of felons. (NYT, 07-11-04)
Not sure that I mean all loans -but certainly loans for solos starting out and particularly for those who serve lower income clients. Some of the public interest groups that receive money aren’t “public interest” oriented per se either. An attorney who works for the ACLU would probably get funding, but the ACLU doesn’t exclusively represent individuals who can’t afford representation.
