Alison A Smith nee Howarth Biography

Born on an orchard in Central Tablelands, New South Wales, Australia.

Life was a struggle but with 4 siblings there was always something going on.

I have used poetry all my life to guide my thoughts and decipher the world around me.

I spend a lot of time not speaking to a soul. Words on a page have become my companions.

I am "Alone in a crowd".

I am having problems commenting on people's poems. I am sorry you're having problems too. Hope they get it straightened out.
