Welcome to my home page.
I'm an Adelaide based poet and spoken word performer. I have published two books and performed at festivals including the Big Day Out (Adelaide 2003), the Queensland Poetry Festival, Overload (VIC), the WA Spring Poetry Festival, This Is Not Art (NSW) and the 2008 World Poetry Festival in Kolkata, India. I also run workshops in writing and public speaking for schools and community groups. I currently hold an Australian Poetry Centre Cafe Poet Residency at Higher Ground (Light Square, Adelaide).

I have created this site mainly for teachers who are interested in new ways to explore poetry and young writers who are wondering how to get started. My Bio page gives a detailed explanation of how I began publishing and performing my work as a teenager. I hope this will be useful for others who would like to do the same!
If you would like to book a workshop or performance or comment on anything else on this site, please email me: mealzislost@yahoo.com
I hope you enjoy your visit.
