On March 19, 2023 Kala Ramesh gave a special presentation to HPNC in a meeting held virtually with poets joining from various parts of the U.S., Europe, and India. This presentation includes a sampling of poems by established and new voices from around India as well as an overview of the development and flourishing of haiku in India. Interspersed at intervals are recordings of dance interpretations of selected haiku by V. Balakrishnan of Theatre Nisha, Chennai. The photo was taken by Lenard D. Moore in Santa Fe, NM at the Haiku North America Conference in 2017.
