Terri L. French started her life as a creative writer when she was a child. While she has written prose and historical nonfiction, Terri finds her most satisfying creative outlet in poetry. She is drawn to haiku because of its concise use of words to capture the everyday epiphanies of nature and the human experience.

Terri is on the editorial team of the online journal, contemporary haibun online. She is past southeast regional coordinator of The Haiku Society of America and served as secretary and member-at-large for The Haiku Foundation. Terri is former editor of Prune Juice Journal of senryu and kyoka.

Now retired, she and her husband Ray (and dog, Chaka) enjoy the nomadic lifestyle of full-time RVers, but soon hope to settle back down on a wooded mountain in Huntsville, Alabama.
