Brief Bio:
Donna Bauerly (born August 30, 1934, Potosi, Wisconsin), now residing in Dubuque, IA, taught for 52 years at various levels, the last 36 as a professor of literature and writing at Loras College, Dubuque, Iowa, and following retirement, as a volunteer 5th grade teacher.
Bauerly’s haiku have been published in the Haiku Society of America members’ anthologies and in journals including Frogpond and Wind Chimes; she was especially active in the Shiki Internet Kukai.
She produced a biography of the pioneering American haijin, Raymond Roseliep, Man of Art Who Loves the Rose (2015), believed to be the first book-length treatment of an English-language haiku poet.
The Roseliep biography was researched and written over the span of 13 years.
Chapter headings indicate the highlights of Roseliep’s life: Son, Scholar, Priest, Poet, Haijin, Sensei, Raymundo (Letters), Sobi-Shi (chosen Japanese name in collaboration with his Japanese friend, Nobuo Hirasawa).
This last chapter, the Epilogue, details the conundrum of Roseliep’s life, “Just who is Roseliep, this “Man of Art Who Loves the Rose.
