About the Author
Born in the Netherlands, GISHKA VAN REE (BVA, MVA, B.ED) is an Adelaide based visual artist, teacher and a poet. From an early age his interest in the visual arts grew while his interest in poetry started to grow after being given several books by both Western and Eastern poets.
He first started to read his poems at the regular monthly ‘Friendly Street Poetry’ meetings which began in Adelaide in 1975.
Several of his poems were published in the first, third and fourth editions of the ‘FSP’ reader and in other publications in Australia, India and the USA. Since then his interest in the visual arts has grown while still writing poetry and in the past twenty years his poems have been combined to be part of his art work.
