About me

Anne-Marie Derouault writes free verse poetry in English and in French, haikus and short stories, inspired by her love of travel, na- ture, and human beings.

She was born in Paris, France, and has resided in Florida for many years. Her first poetry book was a bilingual collection, While the Poem Lasts / Le Temps d’un Poème (2018), which was featured in a video interview with bUneke Magazine. Her writings have ap- peared in the Brevard Scribblers anthology series Written in the Sun; the Space Coast Writers Guild Anthologies Survival, Hori- zons, and Transformations; and Precious Publishing’s Pandemic.

 

Previous endeavors include being an executive in the computer industry with a Ph.D. in Computational Linguistics from Paris University and a degree in Psychology. She later founded Emer- gence Resources, LLC, to offer training and coaching internation- ally on communication and stress reduction.

 

In addition to extensive traveling in Europe and Asia, she has had a lifelong passion for yoga and mindfulness, and is a registered teacher with the USA Yoga Alliance. She created two Relaxation CDs, “Letting Go” and “Harmony with Food”, and self-published a series of Mindful Eating Handbooks.

 

She continues to spend a couple of months a year visiting the old continent to renew her inspiration and nurture her relationships. She currently lives on the Space Coast of Florida, never far from the ocean, on a land where opossums, bobcats, hawks and doves live and play.
