Description

Colour photograph in an ornate black and white frame. The image is of a smiling woman with shoulder length black hair staring straight at the camera. Behind her are grass fronds.

Lakshmi R. Kanchi (pen name SoulReserve) is an emerging Indian-Australian poet on a mission to make poetry accessible. Lakshmi’s poetry explores love and its tumultuous, fantastic and zesty nature through allegories that provoke thought and evoke tender feelings. Her writing anatomises the complex links between language, culture, history and perception.

She won the Ros Spencer Poetry Prize and Pocketry’s Prize for Unpublished Poets. Her work has been shortlisted for the Heroine’s Prize, Grieve Project, and the SCWC Poetry Prize. Her poetry has appeared in the Australian Poetry Anthology, Social Alternatives, Portside Review, Burrow Journal and The Saltbush Review.

Lakshmi serves as the Chair of WA Poets Inc and is a Centre for Stories Fellow. She was the inaugural Poet-in-Residence at The Wetlands Centre and Writer-in-Residence at the Midland Courthouse. She is also the facilitator of Ink & Echo Poetry Meetup at Centre for Stories and Swan & Scribble Poetry Scribbleshop at the Ballajura Library.

 

The 8 page zine has been printed on a single sheet of A3 paper and folded to create an A6 sized, instant book (105x148mm).
