Taro Zion JoyTaro Zion Joy was born in York, England in 1971. From his earliest days he spent much of his life travelling. From teen years onward he embarked on many wild adventures and chronicled them in poetry and prose. Since his death, his work has been colleted and compiled by his mother, Penny Joy, and his brother Alexander Arbess-Joy.

Taro began writing after having little academic success. Identified as dyslexic and told he would be unlikely to be capable of writing well, he became determined to change this prediction. He charted his own unique path and his exuberant creative spirit expanded in both life adventures, explorations and in recording many of the riveting stories of his several careers and passions. These included becoming a martial artist, an art gallery owner, an international DJ, affording extensive travel experience, briefly a prison inmate, and always a deep spiritual seeker who challenged every boundary he encountered.

Taro left this life, in Bali, in 2020. He is survived by his lovely daughter, Alexa and her mother, Dita. In addition by his own mother, Penny, her husband Saul, Taro's chosen father, his brother Alexander and wife Jen Li ... as well as many lovers, friends and collaborators from around the world.
