AJ Mitchell is an internationally acclaimed poet and story teller. His poetic journey began at a full examination of his inner being, which included his acknowledgement and successful management of being a victim of depression, all the way through to finding a wonderful sense of inner peace and serenity. AJ has written about this journey and all that has crossed his path on the way in his wonderful collection of poetry, his seven books, originating in 2011. Born in Johannesburg in 1963, and raised there until completing university studies in 1985, AJ lives in Cape Town, South Africa, an immensely proud and devoted father of his daughter Layla, who he is proud to admit to being the love of his life.
