Kevin Pearson's poetry

Kevin was born in Caulfield, Melbourne in 1946, and grew up on the working class side of the Racecourse. He has survived fire, lightning and gunshots, the last whilst head gardener at Koonunga Golf Course. He has been a steel tier in the building industry, once established a crosswords company and has worked in printing and as a publisher. He has also been an art critic, journalist, editor and anthologist. He returned to his ‘grey city’ of Melbourne after eighteen years away, including in the South Pacific and Adelaide. In late 1994 he founded Black Pepper with Gail Hannah. He has published six collections of poetry including two featuring his existentially dubious hero The Apparition. He is working on a new collection The Compleat Apparition.http://blackpepperpublishing.com/pearson.html
