MARGARET CLIFFORD dived into poetry late in life and has published two collections, Stitched Pages in 2016 and Layers of Life in 2019. She writes in a variety of styles, loves performing and her poems have been published in the UK as well as in local publications and magazines.
NICK VAN BUUREN has haunted the Brisbane/Meanjin poetry and zine scenes since 2017 when he co-founded the darling but now defunct The Tundish Review with fellow poet Katelyn Goyen. Since then he has also read and published his own work variously with QPF, Voiceworks, Bareknuckle Poet, sugarcane, concresence, Pastel and more.
JANAKA MALWATTA was born in Kandy, the hill capital of Sri Lanka, grew up in London, and moved to Brisbane in 2010. He has performed at the Queensland Poetry Festival and the Riverbend series. He has been published in Cordite Poetry Review and Peril Magazine.
