About the Author

Born in British Columbia, Canada and raised in Ontario and Japan, Margaret Pilkey “Peggy” is a Nova Scotian by ancestry and choice. Seeing one of her poems in print at the age of nine, with a byline, was the eureka moment in which she realized the books she loved so dearly, could not have existed without their authors! Since then, she has been passionate about her writing, and has been published in Porch to Porch: a Maritime Haiku Anthology, as well as in the English editions of the curated Asahi Haikuist Network of Japan’s second largest digital newspaper, the Asahi Shimbun. Peggy is a member of the Writers’ Federation of Nova Scotia (WFNS), the Canadian Society of Authors, Illustrators and Performers (CANSCAIP), and Haiku Canada.
