She has published five collections of haiku, and authored or co-authored another 22 prose works including essays, season-word compendiums, books on haiku for beginners, and a two-volume set of interviews with notable Showa-era poets.



Abigail Friedman, a retired diplomat and accomplished, award-winning haiku poet, began composing haiku in a haiku group that met at the foot of Mt. Fuji, led by Japanese haiku master Momoko Kuroda.
