21 April 2012: Rachael Petridis + Christine Della Vedova
Christine Della Vedova is a teacher, a student of life and a self-confessed word nerd. She has written singles ads for the lonely and horny. She has taught English to kids in Korea and Peru, and tai chi to seniors. She once built a 6 metre Chinese Dragon. Recently the Business and Professional Women's Association named her their Young West Australian Woman of the Year. Now she teaches refugee and migrant children and says she cannot think of a more fulfilling career.
PS We like her poems :-)
Rachael Petridis is a Western Australian poet, published nationally in literary journals and anthologies. In 2004 she was selected for the New Poets program at Wollongong NSW.

Her first collection “Sundecked” was published by the Australian Poetry Centre in 2010 and received a “Commended” in the Anne Elder Award.
