Anne Kellas (1950 - ) Born near Johannesburg in South Africa, Anne Kellas grew up under an apartheid regime. Her work was first published in 1979 when she belonged to a group of writers known as the "Circle of Eight" who met as friends at the home of poet and publisher Lionel Abrahams. Shortly after the first State of Emergency was declared, she and her husband, journalist Giles Hugo and their two children left South Africa for Australia. They live in Tasmania where Anne works in on-line publishing. She is co-editor with Giles Hugo of the e-journal, The Write Stuff, and is one of the poetry reviewers for famous reporter.

Aileen Kelly (1939 - ) Aileen Kelly grew up in England. At Cambridge University (MA in literature) she married an Australian, and has lived in Melbourne most of her adult life. An adult educator, she has worked in return-to-study, high-school-equivalent, life-skills programs and in-service education for teachers and health professionals, as well as the literature-for-pleasure courses and creative writing workshops on which she now concentrates. Her poetry has been widely published in Australia and elsewhere. Her first book, Coming up for Light (Pariah Press 1994, reprint available from the author), won the Mary Gilmore Award, and was shortlisted for the Anne Elder and Victorian Premier's awards. It also won the Vincent Buckley Poetry Prize which, with complementary funding from Arts Victoria, took her to Ireland for two months, and she returned there for a month the following year. Poetry worked on at those times forms a major element in her second book, City and Stranger (Five Islands Press 2002), although only a few poems may be clearly identifiable as Irish. Aileen is deeply convinced that anyone who writes or wants to write poetry should be encouraged to do so, and she runs workshops designed to help people increase their skills to write the sort of poetry they want to, not what someone else thinks they should write.    Photo of Aileen Kelly by Dinh Thanh Xuan, 2001. She also runs courses in which readers who enjoy, or would like to enjoy, poetry can engage in discussion which helps them to grow in their understanding of how poetry works - and she is very pleased that many of the participants in those courses are also poets exploring possibilities for extending or sharpening their own writing. She wants her own poetry to offer more than one kind of experience to a reader, so some of it is quite complex; but she writes many different sorts of poetry because she enjoys many sorts. She does not start from a theory, but works extensively on each poem to try to make it as effective as possible in its own terms. She reads poetry from USA, UK, Ireland and elsewhere, as well as Australian poets, and celebrates the fact that all of this influences her own poetry - she thinks that if you do not expose yourself to your contemporaries for fear of being influenced, you will be influenced instead by the poetry you read as a child. It is hard to write well in a vacuum. She has been a judge for community-based competitions and for national awards, and again relishes the variety of poetries this brings her. Currently Aileen has a six-month grant from the Literature Board of the Australia Council. Aileen Kelly's publications include: Poetry: Coming up for Light (Pariah Press, 1994), City and Stranger, (Five Islands Press, 2002).

John Kidd (D.O.B. - ) John Kidd was bred and raised in Ringarooma, in the north east of Tasmania. He now lives in Fingal not so far away from those roots.. He had a grandmother who wrote poetry and from very early days he assumed he’d be a writer. Instead he graduated from the University of Tasmania and fell into teaching. During a long stint as a teacher, as a writer he achieved only a stage play that collapsed in pre-production and dual victories in the Launceston Poetry Cup at the Tasmanian Poetry Festival. It is thus that he sides with those who see that being an English teacher hinders rather than helps a writer. Only post-teaching has he seriously pursued writing. He has had poems published in the US, the UK, Switzerland, The Phillipines, Canada, and Australia. He’s written screenplays, a novel, a radio drama, and short stories, and currently is working on a novel set in early twentieth century Tasmania.    Photo of John Kidd by Briony Kidd, 2002. He’s influenced by writers Denis Diderot, E. L. Doctorow, Peter Carey, Raymond Carver, John Betjeman, Seamus Heaney; also film-makers, viz. Hal Hartley, Atom Egoyan, the Coens, in that he tries to write poetry of similar wit and cinematic juxtaposition. He is is currently writing poems and looking to assemble a collection in chapbook form. He has three daughters, two are painters, one is a film-maker. John Kidd's publications include: Insert publications.
