Biography
My name is Boryana Boteva. I live in Sofia, Bulgaria. I have graduated Sofia University
of World and National Economy majoring International Economic Relations in 1998. Since then I work as a
civil servant in the area of European integration and EU membership. I have started writing poetry and
short forms recently. My love for haiku is inspired by my two visits to Japan in 1998 and 2005 where I
was able to touch to its art and culture.
For about half a year I won two honorable mentions in two contests organized by the Bulgarian Haiku Society
and first praise in the tanka contest. In addition I have some haiku published in English speaking sites:
The Wee Sparrow Haiku Nook; the HaikUniverse site, haiku by Boryana Boteva (link shown), under the Basho
online magazinee Failed Haiku Magazine, and others.
