Rosie Stalker qualified as a nurse and midwife in the early 1960s. She worked in the USA for about five years and spent some time in Australia, which she eventually made her home. Stalker retired in 2001 and moved to Murwillumbah in far north New South Wales. She met Australian haiku poet Janice Bostok (q.v.) at a University of the Third Age poetry class. Bostok introduced Stalker to haiku and became her mentor.
