Adelaide B. Shaw
Titles published by MET Press:
An Unknown Road: Haiku
|
Adelaide B. Shaw was born in New Haven, Connecticut. While a junior in high school, her family moved to Los Angeles, California. After graduating from college Adelaide taught first and second grade, married Joseph and had three children, a boy and two girls. In 1971 the family moved to Switzerland to a small village near Geneva, where Adelaide’s husband served as a United Nations official. While in Switzerland, inspired by her rural surroundings, Adelaide began to write haiku seriously. Returning to the United States in 1976, the family settled in Scarsdale, New York, a suburb of New York City. There, Adelaide worked as a school principal’s assistant, then as a legal assistant before her retirement in 1997. Although still writing haiku, Adelaide was not publishing at this time. She later turned her creative efforts to children’s poetry and short fiction and has been published in a number of journals. After 30 years in the suburbs, Adelaide and her husband moved to the small rural community of Millbrook, New York. At the turn of the 21st century, Adelaide returned to haiku as her main creative work and has had her poems published widely. Her haiku have won awards from World Haiku Review, Modern Haiku, Arizona State Poetry Society, the Western World Haiku Society, Heron’s Nest, Kaji Aso Society, the International Kusamakura Haiku Competition, Presence, Suruga Baika Haiku Festival, and Moonset. She is a member of the Haiku Society of America and a participant in an online haiku, haibun and tanka forum. An Unknown Road is her first haiku collection. Reviews of An Unknown Road: Simply Haiku by Robert D. Wilson, vol.6, no.3, Autumn 2008, and Modern Haiku by Edward Zuk, Vol. 40.1, Winter 2009. Adelaide B. Shaw's blog: White Petals.
