'Misha Nathani was brought up in London. He bounced through several universities on several continents, then drifted into computer programming before the formalisation of IT training. A call to jury duty in the grand theatre of Victorian Supreme Court number 4 produced an epiphany which led them finally, into psychiatric social work - strange, for a neurodivergent. During the now two thirds of his life spent in Australia, in between work and family (two wives, two children and several generations of cats), he have maintained a sporadic writing practice, and participated in local writing groups and PWE Diploma courses - and yes, poetry is hard.'
