An Old Plumber, An Ex-Carer, An Amateur Poet, Words From The Heart
Pi O, the Poet
Last night I had the pleasure of attending the Geelong Writers “Polyglots” event, an evening of poetry readings as a lead-up community gathering for PakoFesta’s MultiCultural activities. The program included selected poems from international writers, and the special guest poet was, Pi O, who is a Greek–Australian, working-class, anarchist poet.[ Pi O’s readings were both powerfully poignant and enjoyable to listen to.
Below I have attached 2 YouTude videos of his poems he recited on the night …
G'day, and welcome to my blog site. My name is Ivor Steven, I live in Geelong, Australia. I'm an ex-industrial chemist, and a retired plumber, and a former Carer of my wife(Carole), for 30 years, who suffered from severe MS. I Write poetry about those personal thoughts, throughout and beyond my life as a Carer.
I've been blogging for over 2 years, and writing poems for 19 years. Of course a lot of my poems are about my favourite subject Carole, but since I've been blogging my writings have become quite varied, humourous, mystical, observational, and even a few monster/horror poems.
