Dhugal LINDSAY (1971- ) was born in Rockhampton, Australia. He is now researching the biology of deep sea organisms using crewed submersibles and remotely-operated vehicles at the Japan Marine Science and Technology Center (JAMSTEC) and hopes to come face to face with the Giant Squid one day. Dhugal first became interested in haiku through his host family when he was in a one year exchange program at Keio University, Tokyo, in 1991. He joined SUGAWA Yoko's "Fuyoh" (Rose Mallow) haiku group and KATOH Shuuson's "Kanrai" (Midwinter Thunder) haiku group in 1991. Thereafter, he joined the "Haiku International" haiku group in 1993 and started attending "Riku" (TAGAWA Hiroshi) and "Kaitei" (KANEKO Tohta) workshops upon invitation. In Japan, he has occasional appearances at haiku workshops nationwide and on national television as a guest poet and/or member of judging panels. "The first Westerner I have come across to make haiku of substance in the Japanese language." — KANEKO Tohta, honorary chair of the Modern Haiku Society (of Japan). Dhugal's still working on getting it right in English. Dhugal maintains a web page on haiku, Haiku Universe Dhugal's work has been published in English in the books William J. Higginson's Haiku World: An International Poetry Almanac (Kodansha International, 1996) and George Swede and Randy Brooks's Global Haiku:Twenty-five Poets World-wide, (Mosaic Press, 2000). Dhugal has had work (in English) published by Modern Haiku, Haiku International, Famous Reporter, South by Southeast, Acorn and Rose Mallow, and in electronic form in the First Australian Haiku Anthology at HaikuOz, the Australian Haiku Society web page.
