Keith Borg

Keith Borg studied Communications and Maltese at the University of Malta. He graduated with a Masters in Literary Tradition and Popular Culture (2014). Borg participated in numerous literary events, both locally and internationally. His work problematises all that we take for granted: our inherited beliefs, the origins of our thoughts, the motives behind our actions and their consequences. He delves deep into the existential chasm that lies within our limited understanding of the self, to search for a truth that may or may not exist. In 2017, he published his first work, a poetry collection titled hemm qarsa fil-vers (Klabb Kotba Maltin). He published a short story in the anthology Skariġġi (2012) and some of his poems were translated and published in Slovenian and Greek. In 2021, he published a short story collection titled Il-Parabboli tal-Imġienen (Merlin Publishers). This collection was nominated for the ‘National Book Prize’ (2022). In 2023, he published a long poem, magħġuna fit-tbenġil (Ede Books), as a reaction to the femicide of Bernice Cassar. In 2025, Borg published a collection of poems, meta nsir disgħa (Merlin Publishers).
