Dyson1995

I was born in 1995 in a beautiful country town called Rockhampton in Queensland's north, and lived on a farm until the age of three with my mum and my grandma. In 1998 my mum and I moved to Melbourne where I have lived ever since.


After studying William Blake in year 12 I developed a penchant for writing poetry. Years later this grew into a means of catharsis and self-expression as I cared for my sick mother.


After she passed away in 2017, and I discovered that she too was a writer poetry, I committed myself to the goal of continuing to write; eventually settling on the idea of producing a work that was both thematically linked and conceptually realized. This work is what became known as 'Marching with a Broken Shadow'. I would describe the book as a labour of love, one that was crafted through dark times, but that manifested itself into something that aims to capture all that human life and experience has to offer… and with that, I think there shines a subtle optimism that is never truly out of sight.


My follow up work loosely entitled 'Stories Heard From the Hearts Whisper' is slated for release in the short term; and I have also released a side project called 'Wings'.


My newest full-length poetry book, 'Fists in the Eye that Blinks on a Pin', is now available; seeking to capture a youthful spirit and freedom in the context of creativity.

The passage from birth to death is a journey that binds us all... In this debut anthology entitled Marching with a Broken Shadow, readers are invited to embark on that journey; delving profoundly into their innermost thoughts and prevailing feelings - from the deepest and darkest layers of hurt and confusion, to the most hypnotic forms of happiness and dream. Take the quest with the central character, and look forward to exploring, with reminiscence and wonder, the voyage we call life, the ending we know as death, and all that lies in between.

Dyson Russell's masterful use of language and evocative imagery invites readers to embark on a journey of introspection, touching on themes of love, dreams, fears, and self-discovery. The collection's thought-provoking and relatable poems make it a must-read for anyone seeking solace, understanding, and a deeper connection with their own emotions and memories. Whether you are a seasoned poetry enthusiast or new to the genre, "Marching with a Broken Shadow" is a highly recommended and deeply rewarding literary experience that will linger in your heart long after you've turned the final page.

Dyson Russell's collection of poems, "Marching with a Broken Shadow," serves as a mesmerizing exploration of the intricate interplay between innocence and experience that defines the human odyssey. Through his evocative verses, Russell delves into the profound realization that life's lessons often manifest as paradoxical wisdom

Russell leaves you with much food for thought, and reminds us of poetry's power to capture truths and share them as means of our shared understanding. He bares his soul beautifully so others feel a little less alone in theirs.

Imagine how much we could find... if only we had a willingness to look...

It's time to grow your wings

Wings is an exercise in creativity and emotionally charged verse - Anthony Abiad

Book Title
Poetry

Where the weird meets the wonderful, and the lyrics find their songs... where dreams cascade - remembered, and laugh with bygones. This is an ordinary poetry book, let us be clear about that fact... where rejection looks like a cosy winter storm, and a fairy tale in babies eyes; curiosity will cure most - but most won't try.

This is a rabbit painted red, with colour outside the lines; a blue foot, an orange ear - creative bliss and a child's mind

A shift away from his usual style, but a success in its experimental method - Anthony Abiad
