LEONARDO DARDY (5/4/1994), ORIGINALLY FROM THE CZECH REPUBLIC, CURRENTLY LIVES IN AUSTRALIA WHERE HE WRITES AND MAKES HIS LIVING AS A COOK, DISHWASHER, AND FISHERMAN. A CO‑FOUNDER OF THE FAMOUS LITERARY GROUP – WHICH AIMS TO INNOVATE AND CONTINUE THE TRADITION OF LITERARY GROUPS – HE IS ALSO THE AUTHOR OF A POETRY COLLECTION “29° SUNNY TODAY” AND A FORTHCOMING NOVEL “MISS MARGARITA”. WITH A LOVE FOR LITERATURE AND RESPECT FOR HIS LITERARY PREDECESSORS, DARDY IS INTERESTED IN CONTINUING TO REINVIGORATE A LUST FOR LANGUAGE; CELEBRATING THE POWER OF SPIRIT AND NUDITY OF THOUGHTS, HE PORTRAYS HIS OWN CANDID EXPERIENCES WITH RAW AND SELF‑DEPRECATING HONESTY. A CHARACTERISTIC FEATURE THROUGHOUT HIS WORK IS THE ATTENTION TO THE COMPLEXITY OF HUMAN BEINGS AND THEIR BEHAVIOUR, TOUCHING ON SENSITIVE SPOTS THROUGH INSIGHTFUL REFLECTIONS.






29° SUNNY TODAYIS A COLLECTION OF POETRY WRITTEN IN BYRON BAY, AUSTRALIA WHERE THE SUN DEFINES THE LIFESTYLE; DARDY REFLECTS THE ILLUSIVE PARADISE WITH IRONY, SARCASM AND MELANCHOLY UNDER THE BANNER OF HUMOUR; THROUGH WILD PARTIES AND SAD HANGOVERS, BOREDOM AS WELL AS THE SUPERFICIALITY OF BEAUTY, ONE MAY SEE THE SUN SEEPING, THE EXACT SUN THE AUTHOR METAPHORICALLY AVOIDS – AND TO WHICH HE, FINALLY AND IRONICALLY, DEDICATES THE ENTIRE COLLECTION.
