Caroline Reid is a poet and performer who grew up in Kalgoorlie WA. She acknowledges Kevin Bloody Wilson as her most important literary influence. SIARAD, her debut collection of poetry, won second prize in the international Poetry Book Awards (UK). However, being too poor to travel to collect her prize, Caroline chose instead to record SIARAD as an experimental audiobook, adapt it for theatre and perform it as a one-woman spoken word show in obscure locations across Australia. Then she went on to win the Mslexia Poetry Prize, Woollahra Digital Literary Award. Her poems work best when read out loud. Anticipate strong language, good-bad jokes, tears.
