Rebecca Cuevas De Caissie publishes a book of poetry
L'Etoile, September 29, 2005 by Jean-Paul LeBlanc
A multi cultural heritage and upbringing provides the inspiration to Rebecca Cuevas De Caissie for writing some poetry. Born and raised in Miami (Florida) where she stayed until the age of 25, she has since lived in different cities across the United States including Lafayette where she was influenced by the Cajuns. She is now living in Richibucto with her husband that she met in British Columbia, Gabriel Caissie, originally from Rogersville. She really enjoys living in a small community, very close to the shore and the Maritimes serves as more inspiration for poetry writing. She is also influenced by her five children, a 12-yr old girl and four boys aged 10, 13, 15 and 16. An Award winning poetess, Rebecca, who has been living in this area since last September, is very happy that her poetry will soon be published. The 100 page book will be published by Publish America, from Maryland: “I expect the book to be published before the end of October. I really like Publish America because they are so down to earth and not intimidating.
The final proof is being done now. People who read my poetry have asked me to publish and I will be happy to see the end result.” Rebecca won the Poetry.com Editor’s Choice for the year 2000 and 2001 and the Famous Poets Society Award called the “Most Accomplished New Poets” for the year 2000.
