	'''Manwel Nicholas-Borg'''		'''Manwel Nicholas-Borg''' (1918-1998) was a Maltese author and poet in Melbourne, Australia.

	~~'''Author, Poet'''~~		For sheer productivity it is hard to beat Manwel Nicholas-Borg. He has been the most prolific writer mostly of poetry but also of a considerable amount of prose, including, essays, history, and novels, much of which he published privately and read at the [[Maltese Literature Group]] and other literature meetings. He began writing in 1938 and never stopped until his death on 30th May, 1998.

His poetry is traditional in style, and includes sonnets and poems which follow the acrostic and Sapphic styles.
