- Biography/History:
-
Vicki Viidikas born Sydney of an Australian mother and Estonian father, left school at 15 and worked in various occasional jobs. At 16 she began writing for reasons she termed 'therapeutic' and 'confessional', and had her first poem, 'At East Balmain', published when she was 19. As a result of several prolonged visits to India and the East she became interested in Indian life and Hindu religion, an interest that is reflected in her poetry. Her publications include Condition Red, (University of Queensland Press, 1973), Wrappings, (Wild and Woolley, 1974), Knabel (Wild and Woolley, 1978), India Ink, (Hale & Iremonger, 1984).
