Yanty Tjiam (1981–2015) was a beloved haiku poet from Indonesia. She is remembered for her kindness, gentleness and attention to other people’s work, and also for her sense of humor. She touched the lives of many people in the haiku community. As one haiku poet has said: “her words were as soft as that butterfly.”
