About Me
A Writer’s Life
My name is Brent Cantwell and I am originally from Timaru on the East Coast of New Zealand’s South Island. I now call Tamborine Mountain, in Queensland, home.
I have been writing for most of my life and recently decided to publish my work. In October 2023, it was a real privilege to have my debut collection of poetry published by Recent Work Press.
With ‘tether’ now gracing the shelves, I am thrilled to have my poetry in your hands. As an author, I aim to dig below the surface of a changing world.
Feature Poem
This week’s poem is from my debut collection ‘tether’. It was first published in ‘New Zealand based, Palmy-inspired’ Milly Magazine in 2018. It recalls a time when all I wanted to do was kick a ball around in the mud. When I was ‘ten years old’.
