Autorenporträt
Until recently, Danijela Kambaskovic was Assistant Professor, Shakespeare and Renaissance Studies at the University of Western Australia in Perth. From 2008 to 2010, she coordinated on-line courses on Shakespeare and Medieval studies for Macquarie University and Open Universities Australia. She aims to infect as many people as possible with the No-Future-Without-the-Past virus, and considers history her playpen. Danijela migrated from the Former Yugoslavia in 1999. She writes in two languages, reads several more and specialises in poetry translation. She has published two collections of poetry in Serbian (Atlantis, 2006 and Journey, 2008 and selections from these in English have appeared in Sydney's Masthead). Her humorous epic "The Williad: The Epic on the Epic" appeared in Cordite Poetry Review.
