Über den Autor

Barbara Fisher, who lives in Sydney, has worked as an illustrator, copywriter, editor, art teacher and an antiquarian bookseller. Although born in NSW, she spent part of her childhood inEngland and, later, with her architect husband returned there to live in London for several years. It was not until l995 that she focused on writing (and reading) poetry, although years earlier she had published a few memorable poems. Encouraged by her 'rediscovery' by Peter Coleman and attendance at Ron Pretty's celebrated poetry workshops at Wollongong University in 1999, she was awarded a Varuna mentorship with Kevin Brophy. Other awards have included the Bauhinia and the Grenfell Henry Lawson Prizes. In 2001 she was a finalist in the Gwen Harwood Prize and took second prize in the NSW Society of Women Writers' 2004 National Poetry Competition. In 2014 she was shortlisted for the inaugural Second Bite Poetry Competition.
