Brigid Lowry
Writer of poetry, short fiction, autobiography, novels for teenagers, letters and emails, journals, postcards.
Pen and paper, computer, caffeine.
I love all art forms: galleries, movies, music, sculpture, popular culture. I read widely: poetry, magazines, art books, novels, short fiction, essays, memoir. Travelling is a great inspiration for me. Getting out of the comfort zone of my own culture feeds me deeply. So does having lots of time to moodle, idle and muddle about. It may seem that nothing is happening during these times but they are often a groundswell from which things emerge, mysteriously and organically, nourishing my thinking and my writing.
Jazz, soul, motown, rain, kids, people in cafes, my own heartbeat.

To live simply and creatively, and to nourish creativity in others. I'd like people to not feel limited by choosing one art form. (I'm a fledgling textile artist, mosaic artist, and stand-up comedienne, for example.)
