DIANNE TCHIR has written poetry for 40 years, exploring themes of nature, social issues dealing with injustice, alienation, our dying earth for a quasi-god (Profit), death and the many masks of reality. Her poetry attempts to show the interconnectedness of everything. Motivation and a sense of purpose are her necessary fibres to weave each thought into poetic form. Each poem is carefully crafted with imagery, rhythm, sound and word magic to instill meaning.
