Sophia Hawkes

I’m, Sophia a poet, writer, breath-work facilitator by the Sacred Breath Academy, Death-Walker, woman, mother, friend, dog owner and lover of all things wild. I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree from Southern Cross University, where I majored in Writing and Cultural studies but also comprehensively studied trauma. Moreover I’m a trained grief and loss support volunteer worker by what used to be the Bellingen branch of NALAG (National Association of Loss And Grief), Australia. For years I was a regular contributor to Capture Magazine, Australia’s most prominent photograph magazine for emerging and professional photographers, you can find some of my articles here, https://www.capturemag.com.au/search?q=Sophia+Hawkes. I was born and raised in Sweden but moved to Australia on my own in 2005, the year I turned twenty five. I don’t write poetry by choice but because it’s the only way through heart ache, injustice, beauty, life and death, poetry is an inevitable byproduct of the depth with which I experience existence. If I wasn’t a poet my guess is I would have spontaneously combusted at some point during the last few decades. I’m currently working on gathering all my poems into a poetry collection that I’m looking at self-publishing but I have no poems previously published. I have never tried to get any of my poems published and I won’t publish my poetry collection before the end of this competition. more…
