Kaz Reeves

Kaz Reeves is a grandmother and mother who, through her work as a priest in parish communities and hospital chaplaincies, has gained a deep appreciation for the diverse richness of spiritual life. Her enjoyment particularly lies in the African diaspora communities, to which she feels greatly indebted, especially in her more recent work over the past 15 years. Raised in foster care, Reeves has channelled her passion into advocating for children’s wellbeing. She fondly recalls the challenges and rewards of her former roles in community health and women’s mental health.

For Reeves, her 40 years of engagement in community projects means that poetry is as much a communal endeavour as it is a personal one. She expresses her interests through writing, contributing to publications such as the Asylum Journal and The Coracle. Her collaborations extend to the Iona Community, where she continues to weave her personal experiences into her work.
