Margaret Rutley passed away peacefully, surrounded by family in August 2022.
For over 20 years, she published lyric and haiku poetry in journals and anthologies in Canada, the US,
England, India, Africa, and New Zealand.
In 2022, she co-created a book of haiku and related poems, with Sidney Bending, called Whether Forecast.
Margaret collaborated with Sidney and Nika (Jim Force) for seven years, publishing rengay and sequences
under the group name, The Heron's Quill. She typed and proofread braille, served in the air force, rode horses,
played guitar and sang in a nightclub, taught piano to her husband, and has two grown children and three grandchildren.

Here is a poem of Margaret's, published in The Wanderer Brush by Ion Codrescu:
covered bridge ...
at the end
greeting my shadow
