is an artist and poet who lives in Aizawl, the capital city of the Indian state of Mizoram. He began writing poetry in 2012 and, influenced by haiku poet Sandi Pray, soon developed an interest in haiku, haibun, and haiga, some of which are published in two anthologies edited by Jean LeBlanc, Heart Breaths: Book of Contemporary Haiku (2016) and what a [hiding] place: haiku, tanka, haibun (2019). William’s mixed-media paintings and drawings complement his poems, and he works with a range of media such as photographs, and glass and concrete walls, among others.
