Editor Bio: Lakshmi Iyer lives in her world bound with duties to her mother and grand twins. Her voluntary services to under-middle-class girls nurturing their needs remain in the good books of the families. Her haikai journey has seen the worst of rejections and the best of acceptances. Her poems have found their best homes and she profusely thanks the editors. Her dream to publish a book remains in her heart, soul and mind.
