gripping the racquet
my father’s hands
around mine
- Hilary Tann
Hilary Tann spent her childhood in the coal-mining valleys of South Wales and subsequently settled in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains in the town of Saratoga, NY. She is a composer on the faculty of Union College in Schenectady where she is the John Howard Payne Professor of Music. She is a founding member of the Route 9 Haiku Group which publishes the biannual anthology, Upstate Dim Sum. The monthly meetings with Yu Chang, Tom Clausen, and John Stevenson are treasured times of poetry and sharing.
