Keith Borg hated studying literature until he was in sixth form. Then words started filling up his brain and ended up on paper, tissues, bus tickets and a wall in a club in Paceville. He published his first poetry book, hemm qarsa fil-vers (Klabb Kotba Maltin) in 2017. He never wanted to work in education but has worked in various boarding schools in different countries. He enjoys reading, swimming and teasing his dog, Timmy. He published his first book of short stories, Il-Parabboli tal-Imġienen (Merlin) in 2021. He is still wondering what to be when he grows up.
