MOYA PACEY was born and grew up in Middlesbrough in the north of England. She came to Canberra in 1978 when it was a country town masquerading as a city and taught English until she retired. Her poems have won prizes, been read on radio, appeared on buses, gallery walls and published in print and on-line in Australia and overseas.
