Steve FitzGerald is founder of the Friday the 13th Poets, creator of Haiku Crush, and a judge and publisher for the 2022 Best Haiku anthology. He is also working on his own book of haiku.
He has won international awards for his writing and editing. Since 2009, he has been a writing coach to professional and aspiring writers and poets in the U.S. and Canada.
“I love how a good haiku can capture a moment or the essence of an experience. I tend toward creative minimalism, so it’s natural that I’m drawn to reading and writing haiku.”
A former marathoner, Steve enjoys peaches, baseball, butterflies and running slowly in the woods.
