(August 30, 1950–July 30, 2022) Susan Diridoni, long-time member of HPNC, practicing psychotherapist and resident of Kensington, California, died on July 30, 2022 of abdominal cancer. Her introduction to haiku came as a teenager through the writings of R.H. Blyth. She was most well known for her affinity for avant-garde haiku, which she wrote about in an essay, “My Accidental Slip into Gendai Haiku” which appeared in Modern Haiku, vol. 43.1 in 2012. She served as HPNC’s newsletter editor in 2010-11. Her unique voice will be greatly missed.
