Bio Sketch

Rachel Sutcliffe suffered from a serious immune disorder for over sixteen years. Throughout that time, writing was her therapy, and it kept her from going insane. She was an active member of the British Haiku Society and was published in various journals, including Prune Juice, Failed Haiku, and Hedgerow.

  1. L1, “sunrise,” immediately sets a clean, grounded moment, while Ls 2&3, “a wash of pink / on the rose,” effectively create a subtle mirroring—sky and flower reflecting each other.
