Bill Tibben came over from Holland when he was 7 and he grew up on dairy farms. Bill has brought out 3 collections of his poems as well as anthologies. He retired last year to undertake new projects from men’s sheds to climate change lobbying.

Maureen Ten Ch'in Ü migrated from Kuala Lumpur where she has penned a newspaper column, tutored at university and directed documentaries, improvisations and plays.

Danny Gardner is a journalist who sometimes works in a library. He lived overseas in the early 80s. He's just released his first book of poetry in 16 years although he’s published anthologies.

All three have convened poetry evenings: Danny’s Live Poets at Don Bank, North Sydney, Bill’s PIE (Poetry, Image, Expression) at Parramatta (both for 20 years) and Maureen's Cosmopolitan Sydney in Conversation at Rudolf Steiner House. In the course of sharing poetic tasks such as stacking chairs, serving food and culling commas, they developed the perilous notion of performing together and last year they formed Running Order.
