Early
Days unsupervised genetically designed like toys beguiled by fantasies spontaneously play improvised games like actors with imagined scripts depicting violent scenes as common themes reflecting personalities blooming slowly in the park at the bottom of the street. Ken
W
Simpson began writing poetry around 2005, with collections
published by
SBPRA and Hemkunt (Sanbun) from 2010 to 2013, then Augur Press

Perception) in 2015. Another from Poetry Space is to be published in
2015. He
was
born at South Camberwell in the state of Victoria, Australia

educated at Scotch College, then Swinburne art
school. After
graduation he taught art for fifteen years in state technical
schools in
Victoria, interrupted 1958 by a
year away painting in London in
1958. Superannuated due to stress, he began writing
short
stories, but later switched to free verse. He

in the Melbourne suburb of Lysterfield with his
daughter, her husband
and four grandchildren. |
