Andrew Galan

Andrew Galan leads inclusive, energetic and liberal poetry slam BAD!SLAM!NO!BISCUIT! from the Phoenix Pub in Australia’s Capital Territory. He writes poetry published and performed nationally and internationally. Reviews have compared his work to cummings, Cave, the Coen Brothers and Tarrantino, and described it as ‘weird unsettling stabs’. The publisher of his first book says it is ‘Nadsat meets Mad Max.’ Poetry is imagination and reality meeting, sometimes for a fight, sometimes to eat. His first book is That Place of Infested Roads (life during wartime), KF&S Press.
