Haiga Poems - haiku combined with fine art photographs
Jerome Berglund graduated from the
University of Southern California’s Cinema-Television Production program and
spent a picaresque decade in the entertainment industry before returning to the
midwest where he was born and raised. Since then he has worked as
everything from dishwasher to paralegal, night watchman to assembler of heart
valves. Berglund has exhibited many haiku and senryu online and in print,
most recently in Tofu Ink Arts, Vermillion, Hey I'm Alive Magazine, and
Fauxmoir. He is furthermore an established, award-winning fine art
photographer, whose black and white pictures have been shown in galleries
across New York, Minneapolis, and Santa Monica. You can read Jerome’s
earlier published works collected in Bindle Bum and Paint Chips, available
through Amazon.

Hayom! To the lives of all of us who're surviving ahead of the oddities.
