Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow

Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow is an innovative project continuing and developing the collaborative relationship between two fine tanka poets, Amelia Fielden and Kathy Kituai.


This is a tanka diary, extending over one calendar year, where the two poets interact and respond to each other's reflections as the days pass.


It is thus creative and personal, with many opportunities for contrast and agreement.




Kathy Kituai, has three loves: writing poetry, collaborating with other artists, facilitating creative writing courses.

Kathy has published six poetry collections, been a recipient of the Canberra Critics Circle Award and her first tanka collection, Straggling into Winter was Highly Commended in the 2007 IP Picks Best Poetry Award.

She has won awards for her free verse poetry awards like CJ Dennis Literary Award, St Kilda Literature competition, was short listed Act Poetry Award, Banjo Paterson Award.

Retired in 20003 from government translation service in Canberra, Amelia divides her time now between homes in Canberra and on the Central Coast north of Sydney. Amelia and her husband Arthur are happy to have five children, seven grandchildren and two labradoodles in their family.
