Biographie de Mary Mallia
Born to Maltese immigrants in Australia in the 1960's, Mary sailed back to Malta after her fourth birthday with her parents, leaving her grandparents behind. The abundant joy of both families reuniting in Malta many years later, was in stark contrast to the bad turn that Mary's mother mental health had taken over those years. Mary cared for her ill mother till she took her own life on the 20th December 1993.
It had been a harrowing journey, yet one shrouded in unconditional love transcending time and space, giving Mary a deep insight into the human condition. This is depicted in Mary's publication Liberation at Last by Mary Mallia in December 2023, an epub commemorating the thirtieth anniversary of her mother's suicide. In 2017 whilst visiting family in Malta, back in the family home, Mary started writing poetry.
The poetry written and published so far has stemmed from a lifetime of soul-searching, reflecting deep mystical experiences and a connection to the sacred and divine, spanning decades. Themes like the meaning of life, death, suffering, injustice, abuse, despair, healing, empowerment and enlightenment are explored in Mary's poetry books, Playing Fields by Mary Mallia and in 'Bout Life 'N' S**t by Mary Mallia.
Currently living in South Oxfordshire, Mary enjoys walks in the countryside and a living-room with a river view which has inspired a lot of her poetry. Writing is her passion and has been since her teens, seeing her through many of life's ups and downs. Mary also enjoys dancing, yoga, meditating, cooking, baking, entertaining and socialising. Mary is also a British Wheel of Yoga trained Yoga practitioner and teacher, as well as a holistic healer.https://www.facebook.com/mary.mallia.148https://linktr.ee/marymallia?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=f3ce7a14-f407-4cef-bb31-f03a8f7e8dd8
