Polona Oblak lives and works in Ljubljana, Slovenia. She discovered haiku in her early 40s and was immediately drawn to it for its concision and power of expression.

Carey Rose O'Connell

Picture
Carey Rose O'Connell resides in the American Southwest. She has written for a number of years, but her "calling" as a poet did not come until late in 2010. This change in her writing life inspired the launch of her website, The World Poetized, in early 2011. She constructs poetry in all styles, but enjoys sharing her inner musings first in free verse and then into a poetic form, often a variety of micropoetry. She has found a connection to this style, which is featured along with her photography in Snapshots, her recent self-published book. She is presently working on a new manuscript of her work, and will soon complete a compilation of her poetry readings to be entitled Walking Enchantment. Read.
