Painters want to be poets and poets want to be painters… That’s the jumping off point for this candid series of conversations with contemporary Australian poets, hosted by Phil Day.
S. K. Kelen was born in Sydney in the year the Olympics and television came to Australia.
He began writing at a young age and won the 1973 Poetry Australia Award for Australian Poets under 18. His work has been published far and wide, appearing in journals, ezines, newspapers, anthologies and broadcast on radio.
Kelen’s books include Atomic Ballet, Trans-Sumatran Highway and Other Poems, Goddess of Mercy and A Happening in Hades. His most recent book, Love’s Philosophy, was published by Life Before Man in 2020.
