Shawn Lindsay studies anthropology at Indiana University, where he is
currently wrapping up a thesis on the expression of sociability in
Chichewa, and preparing to launch dissertation research on aspects of
jazz improvisation. Shawn began keeping a haiku (and haibun) journal in
the Fall of 1992 as part of a series of experiments to arrive at a
descriptive poetics of the experiential world. After an initial flurry
of exploratory-- and often awkward-- writing, he has struck a groove
that allows him to record his little epiphanies as they appear, without
too much worry about style. His haiku have appeared in many journals,
such as Woodnotes, Modern Haiku, Tidepool, and ant, ant, ant, ant, ant.
