Janice Bostok is undoubtedly one of the greatest English-speaking haijin – haiku masters – in the Western world. She is also one of the earliest Australian practitioners of haiku and its related forms – tanka, renga and haibun. With some fifteen books to her credit, her work has also been published and cited widely in the Americas, Europe and Japan. A long-standing member of the Brisbane-based Paper Wasp haiku group and co-editor of Paper Wasp: a journal of Australian haiku, Jan has given unstintingly of her time to promoting the haiku apprehension through articles, reviews, workshops and tutorials, and as judge of many national and international haiku competitions. However, Jan has also been writing stories and articles from personal experience for over thirty years. In Stepping Stones, an extended haibun, she combines these skills to produce a touching and poignant personal account of rearing a profoundly deaf autistic child.
