This page is dedicated to L.A. Davidson (1917-2007): this winter / one less card / is still there (2007.12.22)

SELECTED POETS & SCHOLARS
DAVIDSON, L.A. (1917-2007) http://www.hsa-haiku.org/archives/news-obituraries.htm
(KAT AVILA'S NOTE: There were two haiku poets I regularly received holiday season's greetings from. Davidson would include her published haiku for that year in her cards and letters, and I found her efforts inspirational, not just because she was still actively being published but because a contagious joy in her craft came through.)

BALL, Jerry. Founder of Haiku Pacific Rim Conference. http://www.calstate.edu/newsline/Archive/02-03/021002-LB.shtml
BLYTH, R. H. (Reginald Horace)(1898-1964). Scholar. http://www.gardendigest.com/zen/blyth.htm

LAMB, Elizabeth Searle. (1917-2005) "First Lady of American Haiku." http://www.millikin.edu/haiku/writerprofiles/lamb.html
(KAT AVILA'S NOTE: One time I received a B&W photo of a silver-haired Lamb in a correspondence from her. Looking upon her profile—she was sitting on a bench facing away from the camera—I remember thinking she looked as elegant and refined as her haiku.)
