On January 19, I received an exciting e-mail from Dr. Angelee Deodhar, a haiku friend of mine in India.
Dear Hidenori Hiruta san,

As you see, Dr. Angelee Deodhar is one of the runners-up in The R.H. Blyth Award 2013.
The site says as follows.
Two runners-up are particularly important, Dr. Angelee Deodhar and Ron Rosenstock.
The former, a well-known haiku poetess from Chandigarh, India, has won this position for her outstanding contribution to the development of world haiku in general and to the spread of haiku literature to the vast audience of India through translation in particular, both represented by her entry of collected translation of haiku books into Hindi.
They are: Classic Haiku, A Master’s Selection, Selected & translated by Yuzuru Miura, Charles E. Tuttle Company, Inc. of Rutland, Vermont & Tokyo, Japan,
Hindi-English edition 2006/ Children’s Haiku From Around the World – A Haiku Primer, Hindi translation & bilingual publication by Dr. Angelee Deodhar, 2007 (originally a JAL Foundation publication)
The Distant Mountain, The Life and Haiku of Kobayashi Issa, by David G. Lanoue, Hindi-English edition by Dr. Angelee Deodhar, 2009/

and a book of Hindi translation of Ogura Hyakunin Isshu, by the same translator. For details, contact the translator:angeleedeodhar@gmail.com
