Notes
ALI ALIZADEH was born in Iran in 1976 and migrated to Australia at 14. Having endured the Islamic Revolution, the Iran-Iraq War and years of out-right racist attacks in Queensland, he managed to graduate from Griffith University Gold Coast with Honours in Creative Arts in 1998. Since then he's been living in Melbourne, working on a PhD at Deakin University and developing his poetics for the post-modern epic. Ali's first English-language poem was published and performed in 1995. Since then he has been reading his poems in pubs, festivals, street-corners and classrooms across Australia, while working on two narrative texts Elixir and La Pucelle. He's had poems published in journals such as Veranda, Divan, Writing Australia and Voiceworks. He also writes book-reviews and plays. His play Irene's Inquisition is staged during the 2001 Melbourne Fringe Festival.
