Hi All

Brand new here and only just starting to seriously think about doing a PhD. A bit of background first : I did a creative arts degree 15 years ago majoring in poetry, a post grad dip in teaching English, masters in education, plus have a few other diplomas in counselling and training and assessment which are I'm guessing are inconsequential. My grades were not great ( I was young and living out of home for the first time etc) so I'm not sure I'll be able to get into a program at all anyway. As I said, I'm very new to this but am passionate about poetry/literature and have found a possible supervisor here in Australia ( I'm Australian too).
I guess my question is about my history...have I studied enough? My masters is not related to my PhD topic (modernist literature). I hope that makes sense! And that I don't get laughed at. TIA.
