BIOR AGUER
Born into war and uncertainty, Bior Aguer is an Australian-based South Sudanese poet, Journalist, author of the book “Journal of a Refugee,” and proprietor of AfricanAustralian AKA “A2”.
Having entered Australia at the age of four as a refugee, Bior Aguer’s story is one of courage, persistence and dedication. He came to Australia without his parents but with a new hope of a better life and future. Now 23 years, the gifted poet has become a voice for refugees, creating poems and organizing youths events to encourage other refugees about the potential that lies within them.
Just like someone who makes beautiful pictures and amazing songs with words that we normally use to speak, Bior’s artistry and gift come in a more engaging form, using his words wisely to tell his biography as well as changing the mindset of young lads living as refugees in all parts of the world.
In everything he does, Bior Aguer aims at creating a new life and a fresh start for those that may have lost hope. If a poet is a poet, he surely deep inside must have always known it. To him, Poetry is many things. It may never or always rhyme, but it will always artistically say something. His ease and fluidity are both reliant on the splendor that he creates.
Throughout his 23 years, the prodigy has worked harder than he believes to create something unique and isn’t comparative. He has performed at different events with different purposes, organized workshops in schools and colleges, and has become a transformation at the moment.
