Wendell Watt lives in Sydney. Apart from family, her two loves have been science and writing. She chose science for a secure livelihood but now writing takes top place. Her work has been published in newspapers, journals and anthologies and has won various prizes, and a poetry chapbook Oranges Grow on Trees was published by Ginninderra Press. Her poems take inspiration from the natural world, and reflect on a range of life experiences and the humorous absurdities that crop up along the way.
