Join us at Smith's Alternative for readings from two RWP poets.PAUL MUNDEN is a poet, editor and screenwriter living in North Yorkshire. His first paid work was as reader for Stanley Kubrick. He was director of the UK’s National Association of Writers in Education for nearly 25 years, and more recently a Royal Literary Fund Fellow at the University of Leeds. He lived in Australia for several years, running Poetry on the Move, the festival initiated by the University of Canberra, to which he remains affiliated as an Adjunct Associate Professor. He has published six poetry collections, including Amplitude (Recent Work Press, 2022), and many chapbooks, most of which include at least one Peckinpah poem. He is also the author of Unclassified: Nigel Kennedy in Chapters & Verse, a study of the maverick violinist.
Paul will be reading from his new collection PECKINPAH SUITE.
K A Nelson is a country girl whose destiny—marriage/children—was thwarted by her love of difference and the opportunity to travel and work in New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Italy, Central Australia and elsewhere.
Between 2016 and 2020 K A Nelson studied a Masters by Research
at the University of Canberra. Her exegesis and memoir with poetry focused on white privilege and its legacy in Australia together with lessons learnt from her working life with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in rural, regional and urban settings between 1981-2020.
Her debut collection of poetry INLANDIA was published in 2018, and her latest collection MEATY BONES IN 2023.
