If You Would Like To Join the Japanese Poetry Club, please check my author notes
I grew up in Spain amidst ivy covered stone castles and old olive trees. Spain is rooted in rich history and a beautiful culture. At 10 years old, my mother died and my life changed drastically. At 16 years old, I moved to the United States where I married and had three children.
After 5 years, I got a divorce and since then, I raised my children by myself. I worked in several secretarial jobs until I went to college. Eventually, I received a Human Service Bachelor Degree. Thereafter, I worked in the Teaching and Non-profit community services field. Teaching was the best job I ever had. Besides teaching, I love helping people so I got jobs as advocate/counselor for victims of rape and molest; also, helping homeless people by managing a community services center. All through my life I have expressed myself creatively using different types of media– painter, poet, new dance dancer, and spoken word (reading my poetry on stage). I found fanstory in 2015, and soon after I started writing haiku and found my passion for Japanese poetry. I taught haiku in fanstory for a while and now I manage two Japanese Poetry clubs. I am grateful for our community, I have learned a lot, and made some very good friends. |
I-NOVEL is a Japanese poetic form used to describe the author's autobiography. The first I-novels was created in 1906. There are several rules for I-Noven but for this Japanese Poetry Event we will keep it simple. Autobiographies are usually a comprehensive life story of the author, while I-Novels are more personal and emotional, focusing on greater depth and the feeling of a particular experience happening to the author.
