Robbie Coburn is an Australian poet and author who was first inspired to write haiku after reading “In a Station of the Metro” by Ezra Pound. His haiku has been published widely, including in Modern Haiku, The Heron’s Nest, NOON: Journal of the Short Poem, Presence, tinywords, Frogpond and Blithe Spirit. His work was selected for inclusion in a hole in the light: The Red Moon Anthology of English-Language Haiku 2018, edited by Jim Kacian, and under the same moon: Fourth Australian Haiku Anthology (2024). His haiku has also been translated into Spanish and transcribed into braille and added to the State Library of Victoria’s collection. His first haiku collection, blood rodeo, was published by Red Moon Press in 2025. He grew up on a farm in Regional Victoria and now lives in Melbourne, where he is a member of the Fringe Myrtles Haiku Group.
