A graduate of UNSW, before completing an MA in Creative Writing at University of East Anglia, and a PhD at Cambridge, Barbara Cocks now lives and writes in Denver Colorado. After publishing in “Nation Review” and “TimeOut/ Net books” she is currently working on a mock heroic tennis epic inspired by Australia's Davis Cup victories and the poetry of CJ Dennis. When she isn't travelling, writing, or teaching, she can think of nothing better than being in a stadium where there are “balls flyin' cross net and the crowd is on its feet cheerin' Aussie 'eroes “facin' life or deaf.”
