Bio Sketch
Alegria Imperial, a former journalist in the Philippines, started writing haiku and other short Japanese poetry forms a few years ago. Her works have since been widely published, some gaining awards. Her first collection is an e-chapbook, counting star-bones, of 20 contemporary haiku. She immigrated to Canada 12 years ago.
In a confined (L3, and even crowded) space filled with strangers (because of Ls 1&3), the speaker's unicorn, a mythical/otherworldly creature, L2, reveals an escapist (yet melancholy) mood.
