Nissa Annakindt is a published poet, impoverished sheep farmer, ex-Marxist, convert to traditional Catholicism, and person with an autism spectrum disorder (Asperger Syndrome). Her poems were first published in ‘Struggle: A Magazine of Proletarian Revolutionary Literature’ in 1989 and her work has appeared since in ‘Social Anarchism’, ‘HEATHENzine’ and a fair number of outhouse walls.
