Bio Sketch
Rebecca Drouilhet is a 58-year old retired registered nurse. In 2012,
she won a Sakura award in the Vancouver Cherry Blossom Haiku
International. Her haiku and tanka have appeared in A Hundred Gourds, Modern Haiku, Frogpond, World Haiku Review, Prune Juice, The Heron's Nest, and the Lakeview International Journal of Literature and Art.
