Story SeriesA Mile in My Shoes

Dalwinder Singh

Collected in partnership with Perth Festival and The Empathy Museum, A Mile in My Shoes is an extraordinary collection of stories that give us a glimpse into the lives of Western Australians from all walks of life.

Dalwinder Singh shares his experiences – both good and bad – as a Sihk taxi driver in Perth. ‘It’s just about breaking down barriers—neighbours may look different but they live in the same suburb.’

"In time, more and more poets have started to write more honestly and poignantly about their own lives. I hope this means that the ecosystem here has become more diverse."

"There is an imperfect fit between our perceptions, actuality, and articulation. Poetry for me fills up this gap or at least gives an identity to it."
