Kathy Goldbach’s haiku come from her attraction to words and to music: from jump rope rhymes and piano lessons in Peoria, Illinois, to Shakespeare tucked between nursing classes in Iowa City, to Goodnight Moon and Old Joe Clark with her children, to a music degree and poetry at San Jose State in the ‘80’s, to a new language and a Bach choir in Germany in the ‘90’s, to piano teaching and poetry writing for the past 25 years. For the last six years, she has found haiku’s sturdy words and subtle music to be her best way to capture life’s “aha” moments.
