Barbara A. Taylor

“Each day demands that I write and that my fingers touch and feel the earth.” Barbara writes prose and poetry, and is a regular at Live Poets’ Poetry Slam evenings. The natural environment, politics, peace and women are the main themes. Her poems have been in print, on local, community, national, internet radio and various literary e-zines including Flashquake, Triplopia, Thylazine and Lynx. Barbara writes from the sub-tropical Rainbow Region of New South Wales, Australia, where inspiration, peace and freedom to create, comes from the serenity and beauty of this special area.
