Tracy Ryan

Tracy Ryan is a poet and novelist from Western Australia, notably recognized in the 1990s as a trailblazing feminist poet. Her early works explored the fraught nature of the times and the end of second-wave feminism through personal experience. Ryan often draws inspiration from the world around her and her personal life, with a keen interest in how language can be interrupted and reconfigured for feminist purposes. Her poetry, which has been compared to Sylvia Plath, features mythic underpinnings while asserting its own distinct power.
