Robert Borski has written two books about Gene Wolfe and lives in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. His poetry has appeared in Strange Horizons, Star*Line, Talebones, and The Magazine of Speculative Poetry.
When asked what the word "cherry" immediately made him think of, he replied, "the word 'cherry' has several different poetic associations for me, reminding me not only of every badly-written haiku I read in high school, but also, because it's the thick of winter here and I am aging rapidly, of the second poem in A. E. Housman's 'A Shropshire Lad', which ends, after a tallying of the years left to the poet, with: 'About the woodlands I will go/To see the cherry hung with snow.'"
