Poet Nancy Corbett is also a published novelist and writer of memoir. Her first book of selected poems, 'The Longest Conversation', was published in 2021. 'House of Many Rooms' is Nancy's second poetry collection. Nancy shares her passion for poetry with students in her Appreciating Poetry classes at the University of the Third Age in Melbourne. At 80, she wants what she has always wanted: respect for human rights, much stronger protection for the non-human world, peaceful solutions to conflict and more kindness. And more music and dance and joy and poetry. Lots more poetry. Born in Canada, Nancy has lived in Australia since 1974. She lives in Port Melbourne with her partner, Howard.
