Julian Matthews is a former journalist from Malaysia who stumbled onto poetry by accident four years ago.  That happy accident has turned into a rabid compulsion.  He is still extricating himself from the crash.  His poems are commentaries on the human condition that are mostly sad and depressing.  You either need tissues or therapy. Welcome to his recovery.

Nathan Toy grew up in Brisbane City, moving to Western Australia when he was a teenager.

Nathan’s poetry comes from a place of pain, human pain, pain that we have either experienced already or will experience soon.  Nathan hopes his poetry whispers softly to the still-sleeping darkness within you, and soothes it with a reminder: you are not alone.
