October 11th, 2025 - Lafcadio

Lafcadio is a poet based in Chattanooga, Tennessee, writing primarily in haiku/senryu, tanka, and other forms of Japanese micropoetry. Since 2021 her work has appeared in numerous journals and anthologies. She enjoys exploring the potential of small poems to capture the vastness of nature and the human experience. She writes under a pen name because she likes to say nom de plume.

Ever since I first found Josiah’s drawings on social media, I’ve been a fan. His minimalist art pieces carry a quiet strength that invites reflection. Each piece creates a safe space for the poet’s voice. I often find inspiration there to write haiku, senryu, and tanka—and, on occasion, his drawings feel as though they match a poem I've already written. I’m grateful for the opportunity to have some of my work featured on his website; it’s a thoughtful and beautifully curated space for collaboration between image and word.
