Peter Jastermsky

A New England native, Peter Jastermsky lives among the Joshua trees in the high desert of Southern California. He is the author of eleven books of haiku-based work, and his writing has been featured in numerous journals and anthologies. In 2017, Peter invented a new, linked form that is haiku-centered called a split sequence. His book Just Dust and Stone (Velvet Dusk Publishing, 2021), co-written with Bryan Rickert, is a collection of more than 40 collaborative split sequences. Peter’s recent books include Into the Stillness (Red Moon Press, 2023), a collection of solo split sequences; and songs of blue acorns (Cyberwit, 2024).
