Greetings from Australia

[Frank Prem]

Hello Litopians.

I've just joined up and wanted to say hi.

I'm a free-verse poet and author from a small town in Victoria (Australia). I've been writing for 40 years plus and have commenced the publishing of my work through POD technology and my own publishing house - Wild Arancini Press.

Books to date in this incarnation of myself are:
Small Town Kid (2018) - a free verse memoir of growing up in rural Victoria in the 1960s and 70s.
Devil In The Wind (2019) - in free-verse, the voices of victims and survivors of the Black Saturday bushfires of 2009.
Herja, Davastation - a collaboration with fellow author Cage Dunn to combine free verse and prose in telling a tale of a Valkyrie and her mortal assassin/accomplice (Due for release September 2019)
The New Asylum - a memoir of psychiatry due November 2019.

<phew> it's been busy.

Thanks for having me here at Litopia.
