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's mental health had taken over those years. Mary cared for her mentally 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, Mary started writing poetry. The poetry written and published so far has stemmed from a lifetime of soul-searching, reflecting deep spiritual experiences and a connection that 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, both in her previous publication Playing Fields available as an epub and now in 'Bout Life 'N' S**t. She currently lives in South Oxfordshire where she enjoys walks in the luscious countryside and a living-room with a river view, both of which have inspired a lot of her poetry.
Writing is her passion and has been since her teens, Mary also enjoys dancing, yoga and meditation, journalling, cooking, baking, entertaining and socialising. Mary is also a British Wheel of Yoga trained Yoga practitioner and teacher, as well as a healer.
