Melinda Smith

Melinda Smith (born 1971) is an Australian poet.

Smith won the poetry section of the Prime Minister's Literary Awards in 2014 for her collection ''Drag Down to Unlock or Place an Emergency Call''. The award citation said, "From its range of technique and tone to its depth of ideas, imagery and emotion, this collection announces the arrival of a major new poet."

She was the Poetry Editor of ''The Canberra Times'' between June 2015 and June 2017.

Smith lives in Canberra with her partner and their two sons. One of their sons has been diagnosed with autism, which has been the subject of many of her poems, including the entire collection ''First...Then... : Poems from Planet Autism''. Provided by Wikipedia
