About the Poet Amelia Walker
|
Amelia Walker's first poem was published when she was sixteen, in Sidewalk. When she was seventeen she received her first (albeit small) grant from SAYAB to produce a video of spoken word 'film clips'. The next year she received another (somewhat larger) grant from SAYAB, which allowed her to work with editor Graham Rowlands to produce her first collection of poetry, Fat Streets and Lots of Squares. She also runs a montly spoken word night at the Crown and Sceptre hotel in Adelaide and was a member of the organizing committee for this year's Newcastle Young Writers' Festival. She is a member of the 'dB' Young Writers' Page editing committee, and has recently been chosen to co-edit the 2004 Friendly Street Reader with editing partner Shen. |
