MCH Poetry - Tony Steven Williams and Isi Unikowski

Tony Steven Williams is a Canberra poet, short-fiction author and occasional songwriter with many publications in domestic and international journals and anthologies. Tony’s poetic output is diverse including much free verse, a touch of traditional, plus Japanese styles such as tanka, tanka prose and haibun. His poetry flicks between dark and humorous; he considers this a reflection of our rollercoaster lives. An occasional speculative fiction piece is a frequent visitor. However, in all his work, the environment and the human condition are very important to him. Tony is the former convenor of local poetry group Tram Stop Poets (now run by Rohan Buettel) and has performed at various venues including Manning Clark House and Smith’s Alternative. His two poetry collections (Ginninderra Press) are Sun and Moon, Light and Dark (2018) and Reimmersion (2023).

Isi Unikowski is a Canberra poet, with an extensive publication history in Australia and overseas. In 2017 he was selected as one of the Australian Capital Territory's representatives on the Australian Book Review’s ‘States of Poetry’ website. Isi’s debut collection Kintsugi was published in 2022 by Puncher & Wattman.

Isi has worked as a public servant and academic, and he has a PhD from the Crawford School of Public Policy at the Australian National University.
