Tasmanian-born Rosemary Nissen-Wade, who now lives in northern New South Wales, fell in love with poetry as a child and has been making it ever since. She won juvenile literary prizes, and as an adult has been widely published, anthologised and broadcast. Rosemary is perhaps best known as a dynamic performance poet and an innovative teacher of writing at both community and tertiary levels. She has a BA from the University of Melbourne, where she majored in English Literature and Philosophy, after which she went on to an 18-year career in librarianship. She lived many years in Melbourne, during which time she was one of the founders of the Poets Union of Australia, coordinated a series of prison poetry workshops, created a poetry theatre group with three other poets, and for a decade was an independent publisher of Australian poets, some of whose books won major national awards. As well as poetry, she has had short stories and book reviews published, and articles on healing in specialist magazines. She has published two earlier collections of poetry which are no longer in print; selections from them appear in this volume. Her work ranges from fiery and outspoken to deeply reflective. Readers comment that what they find in her books, above all, is love.
