About Gingatao

gingatao

Bio: I hate writing bios, Paul.

Genres: Genre is dead, I killed it.

Main Website:: gingatao.com/

Other Websites: gingatao.podbean.com/

Publishing Credits: Independently published the notorious, "The Puzzle Box" and has appeared all over world in journals and on the radio. Currently writing a history of contemporary poetry in Australia called "The Weaker Things Persist" from the quote by legendary Australian poet, Robert Adamson which will be made into a radio drama and possibly TV show for the ABC or SBS.

Awards: I forget how many awards I've been given. My favourite achievement is appearing on the radio in the US along side such legends as Ezra Pound, Dylan Thomas and Gertrude Stein. Check out ' wordsalad' the best resource for contemporary spoken word poetry on the web. See, I'm not making this up.

Influences: Grimsley is a legend. Especially his hats. Other than that, Rableais etc.

Favourite Books: Would I be an idiot not to say mine No, I'ld be a liar. Not that it is so amazing in its writing or publishing, but I am proud of it nonetheless. I read "The Tokyo Montana Express" by Richard Brautigan a lot and Winnie The Pooh is my religeous text.

Writer, Prizefighter, Or Caffeine Inspired All Nighter?: Depends on the time of day.
