About

Pym Schaare was born in Smargendorf, Berlin, and migrated to Australia as a young child. Pym's earlier interest in the dramatic arts has been lately turned to writing and performing poetry.

Her recent completion of a Master's degree in Applied Linguistics has led to an exploration of the dynamics of language. The expression of social issues through the poetic form emerged as a way of exploring issues close to her heart.

Reviews

pym schaare's Since Then traces the poet's personal journey, from frightened child in a strange country to confused young woman to self possessed adult. The poems represented a shaking off of the psychic shackles of inherited personality, and a deep engagement with the restorative power of the natural world. A powerful, honest and ultimately life affirming first collection.

Extract

lovebite

you say
you want to bite
my neck

you say
you like the soft feel
of my skin
looking into my eyes

i like
the firelight kisses
that warm me
make me feel delicious
looking into your eyes

what does
it mean then
when you tell
me that you
couldn't commit yourself
to the girl you
left a year ago
