Summary

Lisa Allen Ortiz travels to La Honda to talk to David LeCount about his 45 year haiku habit, living with nature and how he met his teacher, James Hackett. Ortiz also presses the mute button for the second half of the field interview— ah, but the episode is saved by Farnaz Fatemi who comes by the hive to read haiku by Hackett and LeCount.  And-- for your further delight-- here is LeCount's poem that won the 1989  Japanese Haiku Society Grand Prize: captured firefly-- a child's fingers hatch the moon
