A Senryu by Isabella Mori

hail hypnogogia
hekate speaks to me
of rustling leaves

Isabella Mori writes pretty much everything that's not nailed down: Fiction (a 15th century monk whose best friend is a comfrey plant), nonfiction ("All the way from the Eocene on Highway 400"), and poetry (lots of haiku!). Their great love is hybrid work, like in their latest book, "Believe Me," which combines poetry, stories, interviews and research. They run Canada's most unusual poetry prize, Muriel's Journey, which has an "entry fee" that poets document their volunteer work. Isabella calls themselves a Christian-Buddhist Pagan and has a special relationship with Hekate.
