Person
Born in England, Giles Watson migrated to Australia at the age of one, grew up in Canberra, and returned to live in Britain for eighteen years. There, he became fascinated with ancient landscapes, writing prolifically in response. In 2013, he returned to Western Australia. He has a long-standing fascination with natural history, medieval texts, folklore and mythology, and has worked as a volunteer in wildlife rehabilitation, specialising in orphaned and injured owls. Giles is the author of the novel that inspired Mimma: A Musical of War and Friendship, a book of essays on the folklore of natural history, A Witch's Natural History (Troy Books), and a large body of poetic work, both self-published and in literary journals. He is the editor of Ten Poems About Butterflies (Candlestick Press), and has written songs with singer-songwriter Simone Keane. He teaches English, literature and drama, and lives in Kinjarling (Albany), WA.
