Candy Gourlay South African writer and published poet Candy M Gourlay was born in Johannesburg in March 1973. The last of four children, she lived in a rambling double-storey house that was seldom warm and mostly noisy. Young Gourlay's place in the world wasn't always clear, and over the years she sought a sense of belonging within the pages of books, and later her own journals. With thirty-three years of experience on earth and three extraordinary children of her own, her identity is no longer in question. However, sometimes when asked who she is, she wonders how to answer. Her home is the page, the surface against which a lifetime reflects, the mirror that truly reveals her. Her words have appeared, or are forthcoming, in an assortment of print and online publications, including 2River View; Get Underground; Jack Magazine; Little Brown Poetry; Megaera Print Anthology—Best of 5 Years; Niederngasse; Peshekee Review; Retort; Side Reality; The Pedestal Magazine; Unlikely Stories, and elsewhere.
