ABOUT RANDALL $TEPHENS

13.7 billion Years ago an infinitely dense singularity existing without time or space exploded for unknown reasons, creating the universe. Then for a while not much happened.

In 1980 “The Empire Strikes Back” came out, and Randall $tephens was born, in Westport New Zealand. Randall $tephens is the last angry man, he was the first one too. He doesn’t use phrase like ‘l-o-l” and doesn’t tell people all about his new kettle on facebook. He does not believe in fairies (plop!). He doesn’t suffer fools. He doesn’t play nice with the other poets.

After travelling around performing poetry in New York, London and India, he returned to Australia. Randall is currently living in Denial, while visiting other emotional states throughout Australia and New Zealand. He is blogging unhealthy amounts of new poetry at 'Tales Told By An Idiot' (www.randallstephens.blogspot.com) where you can read it. He is however, truly at home on stage. He has a delivery style putting emphasis on having emphasis, combining a strong stage presence with clear, direct and personal writing.
He performs. Well.
He is on his way to see you.
