About Me
Linden Leigh has always been a poet, but only recently decided to try doing it in public. She writes cerebral/sensory poetry about love and the world, and she tries to find something true to say.
She is also the founder of Talking Tree Events, an initiative for creating small, community-driven programs aimed at facilitating connection, reducing isolation, and driving community-level resilience. In this space, her passions are neurodiversity (and the experience of neurodivergence), motherhood (as a social role and a personal journey), and youth engagement & empowerment.
Linden lives in the Dandenong Ranges with her family, and enjoys long ambles through the forest, the mushrooms and moss of late autumn in the Hills, blue skies, low mists, sunlight through leafy branches, poetry in all its forms, and sci-fi/speculative fiction.
