Petar Tchouhov's Visit


Hosted by the New Orleans Haiku Society, Bulgarian poet Petar Tchouhov visited New Orleans, July 15-25, 2009.


Petar and Johnette had a bite of lunch before his reading at the Maple Leaf Bar, July 19.


David joined them.


He read his non-haiku poetry at the Maple Leaf Bar reading. Petar read the Bulgarian; David read the English translations.


Juliet of the Haiku Society attended. The woman in the background is a student and poet named Autumn.
