olson is the author of Echoes of Haikai (BookBaby, 2018). Educated
at Hamline University and the University of Minnesota, he has been writing
seriously for the past four years. From 1966 to 1974 he also wrote seriously,
publishing poems in (now defunct) literary journals. Then he dabbled in
writing, working and happily spending time with his family. Retired from

Loft, Minneapolis, and in Twin Cities workshops, and practicing at a hermit’s
desk in St. Paul, Minnesota.
