My name is Megan Roweth and I live in Millthorpe, a small town in New South Wales, with my mum, my dad and my little sister Joanna. I started writing and performing poetry when I was 6 years old and have loved doing it ever since. 

​

My interest in poetry started when my dad first started performing it. He walked up and down the hill learning his poems, and every day he would come home and recite a little bit more of the poem he was learning. The only problem was that the poems were interesting, so they stuck in my mind. The first poem I learnt was "Been There Before" by Banjo Paterson, and I learnt it completely by ear, just listening to my dad. I learnt some poems of my own choice after that and started to recite them at Poets Breakfasts. I also began to write my own. Now I travel around to festivals with my parents and perform at the Poets Breakfasts. I love reciting poetry

and I don't plan to stop any time soon!
