Richard Gilbert first appeared in episode 6 of the Rattlecast, way back in 2019. He earned a Ph.D. in Poetics and Depth Psychology at the Union Institute and University, 1990. In 1997, he moved to Japan to pursue Japanese haiku research. He is currently Associate Professor, Department of British and American Language and Literature, at Kumamoto University. In 2006, Richard was awarded a two-year grant from MEXT (the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology) for research on modern Japanese haiku. His most recent book, Haiku Language Thought, explores haiku as the essence of poetic consciousness.

This Week’s Prompt:
Write a poem that begins with an ordinary parenting event that snowballs into something more.
Next Week's Prompt:
Write an ode to something personal to you without it becoming a “personal poem”—i.e., a poem that only carries meaning to a very select group privy to specific knowledge.
