Writer, Poet & Performer. Raw. Passionate. Self-made. Fearless.

Koraly is a bestselling, award-winning Cypriot-Australian poet, writer and performer 

“After being the good Cypriot girl all my life and doing everything I was expected to do by my working-class, migrant culture including marrying at 22, I exploded out later in life in poetry. Today, as a divorced single mother, I have made it my mission to connect with others who have been ostracised, misunderstood, silenced or repressed by culture, religion or society. I do this through poetry, short stories, opinion articles, theatre and short poetic films. I am a public speaker, mentor and workshop facilitator. I am nearing completion of my debut fiction novel, We Never Said Goodbye, and I am also working on a non-fiction book, Not Till You’re Married. Supported by Creative Victoria, if you are interested in being part of the research project email nottillyouremarried@gmail.com, I am seeking the children of migrants who had their upbringing in Australia.

I want to empower others, to help them feel less alone, to help them see that they have choices, because I did not have this and it was very, very hard. Thanks for stopping by. Hope to cross paths with you someday.” Love, Koraly x
