Professor of Music Hilary Tann has been chosen as November's poet of the month on Cornell University's Mann Library “Daily Haiku” site (http://haiku.mannlib.cornell.edu/). Tann's interest in Japan developed from studying the Japanese vertical bamboo flute, the shakuhachi, from 1985-1991. Along with Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Yu Chang and John Stevenson, editor of Frogpond (the Journal of the Haiku Society of America), she is a co-founder of the biannual anthology of haiku, Upstate Dim Sum (http://www.upstatedimsum.com).
