Bio

Christiane Ranieri is from Wittenheim,France.

Lulled by the bilingualism of her native Alsace where she devotes herself to her French-Italian family, Christiane venerates the diversity of cultures and places of life.

She brings us into her world with the precision of detail that was a relational necessity to her blind parents, and that today provides the poetic enjoyment of her haiku.

Up to now, she is the author of 3 books of haikus and renkus
