Duncan Rouch

Duncan Rouch grew up in Victoria, Australia and worked in the UK for some years. He has an academic background and is the author of several books of poetry, with international themes. These themes are, a type of 'praise poetry', connected to the idea that it would useful to acknowledge the positive characteristics of people, and a type of 'challenge poetry', to reflect on challenges that people face in life, from both internal and external issues, often to have an emotionally darker feel, though often with at least a little light open for hope.

He is also the author of several non-fiction works, including on the topics of education, the environment and agriculture.
