Bücher von Andrew Burke

Andrew Burke''s ''New and Selected: 2020'' is the latest of the many poetry collections by this noted writer, an Australian poet who has lived most of his life in Perth. After his birth in Melbourne in 1944, Burke''s family moved west to expand the family business. In his teens, Burke read ''Beat'' writers, and they gained his interest more than school work. He published his first short story at 18. He has written on a daily basis ever since-stories, plays, poems, and-to feed family-advertising material and videos. From 1990, Burke taught creative writing and modern literature at universities, TAFE colleges and writing centres. In 2006, he and his wife Jeanette travelled to China where they taught at Shanxi Normal University, Linfen, and, on their return, they taught indigenous children in The Kimberley area of North West Australia. He now dedicates life fulltime to reading and writing.
