The document summarizes an article about Barbara Fraser, a retired psychologist and winner of the 2015 John W. Bilsland Award for poetry. The award is for senior writers aged 55 and over. Fraser's winning poem "Vacancy" tells the story of a nursing home patient from the perspective of her housekeepers. Fraser hopes her writing conveys messages from unique perspectives and encourages older adults to write.
