Melissa Domiati (nee Tapper) is a Fremantle-born author and educator with a passion for poetry, life stories & empowering others to share their authentic voices. Melissa survived a near death experience, thanks to a Royal Flying Doctor rescue, that resulted in a year of learning to walk again, a pivotal time in reassessing her life's direction. Her reflections, often expressed through writing, culminated in her poetry collection Flowers from the Farm. Melissa has been writing poetry since she was a small child, on anything she could get her hands on - her favourite being the smooth bark of the paperbark tree. Her poetry has featured in numerous publications. Flowers from the Farm is her first solo collection of poetry. Melissa lives with her muse, her husband Salem, who is her biggest fan. Melissa is currently writing a collection of inspirational longevity stories, gleaned from people she is interviewing across the globe, together with a new poetry collection about cultivating calm.
