A Lifelong Australian Poet
Hello and Welcome.
I’ve been writing poetry for over forty years, exploring themes of identity, history, and place. My work is known for its contemporary voice and heartfelt storytelling.
An Accessible Voice of Contemporary Australian Poetry
Drawing on personal experience and broader cultural narratives, I aim to connect deeply with readers through free verse, speculative themes, and lyrical reflections. It is my intention to ensure that my work is accessible and meaningful to all readers – whether fluent readers of poetry of literature or not.
Philosophically, I believe that poetry should be able to read easily, so that readers can focus on what they have read, rather than deciphering clever or complicated words.
About the Books
My collections include poetry that spans fantasy, love, conflict, and regional life. Notable titles are A Specialist at The Recycled Heart, Small Town Kid, and From Volyn to Kherson.
Beyond the Page
Besides writing, I share readings and performances on my YouTube channel and post regularly on my poetry blogs. I also work as a book designer and publisher.
I also post regularly on my poetry blogs, including Frank Prem Poetry.
