bree lives in Cleveland, Ohio and publishes as Green Panda Press. Her latest memoir can be read online in full.
The Cleveland Senryu, a form bree invented, takes the thematic elements of a senryu (usually human foibles), but applies a different formal structure: the poem must be 20 syllables. There are no other restrictions.
