Michael Balner is a privacy professional born in Czechia, he lives in Oslo, Norway. He started to write poetry only a year ago, during a period of a personal crisis. For him, writing is a means to get in touch with his deepest feelings and his inner parts. It has become a part of his therapy, healing of his childhood/youth complex traumas and a part of his search for his higher, pure self. He hopes that his readers can relate to his poems and hopefully feel a little less alone with their own troubles and battles.
