I am a self-taught person. I’ve been obsessed with haiku for a year and a half. Otherwise, it’s simple: whoever likes me publishes me, and whoever doesn’t like me doesn’t publish me! I didn’t learn English at school, no one taught me! I make my own translations. I’ve won several awards and I’m published in many journals, but I don’t think it’s a cause for praise!
