The Daily Haiku connection to Mark Twain

By Robert Stone
I have wondered if anyone wondered who that Chambers Stevens is, the one who is mentioned below the daily haiku. Seeing the note about the birthday of Samuel Langhorne Clemens (November 30, 1835) suggested this would be a good time to let folks know a couple of things about him.

Chambers was born June 10, 1964 and the 1000 day haiku countdown will end the day before his birthday. He was a co-founder of the Nashville (TN) Shakespeare Festival in 1988. I was there at the first performance of the first play.

Chambers is a playwright and the author of "Twain and Shaw Do Lunch," based on the only meeting of Mark Twain with George Bernard Shaw. Chambers has one son, Twain, who is named for Mark Twain. - Robert Stone
