Happy birthday, Juneteenth, and poetry-album launching day to North Carolina Poet Laureate, Jaki Shelton Greene.
Jaki is a friend to many in the North Carolina Haiku Society, so we wanted to honor her on this triple-amazing day. For more about Jaki, Juneteenth, black caviar salad, and The River Speaks of Thirst, Jaki’s new audio recording of poems, see these articles in Next Avenue and The Independent.
