Canadian-born Ian McBryde has been a long term resident of Australia. He is well-published both nationally and overseas, and his poetry has been translated into several languages. His fourth mainstream collection, Domain, about WW2 and Europe under occupation, was published by Five Islands Press, and his third CD of spoken-word is about to be released by The Still Company , which is an ongoing collusion with Melbourne musician Greg Riddell. His most recent collection, The Adoption Order, was released by Five Islands Press in 2009 and short-listed for the 2010 Victorian Premiers’ Prize.
