Brian Langley

G'day, I am a "Bush Poet" (I prefer the term "Australian Rhyming Poet") who has travelled extensively in Australia and who writes about contemporary subjects. You will find few references to billabongs, dogs or dead horses in my poetry. What you will find are poems about contemporary living, getting older, fishing, travelling, the ocean etc etc .... I have published a couple of booklets of my poetry as well as having for sale, laminated sheets of almost all my poems. I do have a website of my poetry BUT it is a long time (a few years) since I have updated it - If somehow I could arrange another 10 hours each day, I'd update it. I have won several awards for both written Verse and for performance. I am currently President of the WA Bush Poets - I'm also a member of WA Poets Inc
