IAN WILLIAM L.

SPRING/SUMMER 2022 ISSUE #04 POET

IAN WILLIAM L. is an aspiring poet living in Melbourne, Australia. Having worked in the legal sector for over a decade, he transitioned during the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic to more closely explore his love of the written word and how such depth can be translated from the natural world. He has an affinity for native Australian plants and birds, and these are emblematic in many of his pieces. Outside of his garden, he can be found cultivating a landscape of words on Instagram at @ianwilliaml, or capturing the beauty of the world behind his camera.

SACRED

Early rain falls through
memory in rivulets
breath takes us as birds.
