Day After the Death of Queen Elizabeth II / Diana Dinverno

Published on by Editorial Staff1 Comment

Diana Dinverno’s haibun was one of three winning poems in 3rd Wednesday’s annual poetry contest. Conest judge, Ronnie Hess said “The Day after the Death of Queen Elizabeth is a deft and moving haibun that combines family and English history. I was swept along by the two pasts, the two chronologies, which are told in luminous and fine detail. Like the poet, rendezvousing with an 87-year old cousin she’s never met, I wanted this meeting, this reading “to stretch into years.” We are in “lush countryside,” indeed.”
