Michelle Ahern is an Australian writer and author of Counting You to Pieces, her first published collection of poetry. Michelle’s passion for writing started at a young age as she discovered the powerful tool of using coded language to hide her diary secrets from her older sister.
For over two decades she has continued to write - crafting non-fiction short stories, essays, articles and comedy. While her professional work in communications keeps writing central in her life, her love of rhythm and language have kept poetry at the heart of her work where she delves into themes of loss, authenticity, femininity and existence.
