Biography
My name is Sophia and I am an Irish poet and writer currently residing on Vancouver Island with my husband and infant son.
I've written stories and poetry most of my life and then abandoned it in early adulthood as life became much busier. Over the past few years, some big life events caused me to take up my pen and paper again to help me process and express what I was feeling and experiencing. Since returning to the art, my poetry has been published in numerous journals and anthologies, and my fiction novella has been released on Amazon and Audible. I am a member of several haiku organizations and can be found in the Living Haiku Anthology and The Haiku Foundation's registry.
I lead a haiku workshop at Vancouver's Sakura Days Japan Fair where I enjoy sharing my love of poetry with others. My inspiration comes from nature, the human experience, and my son!
Besides writing, I enjoy sumi-e (Japanese watercolor painting), video production, and photography, and love to find ways of combining them with my poetry!
