Brendan Ryan (born 4 December 1963) is a present-day Australian poet.[1] Much of his work concerns rural life.
Life and work
Ryan grew up on a dairy farm at Panmure, Victoria. He now lives in Geelong, Victoria, where he teaches English at a secondary college.
Ryan's poetry, reviews and essays have appeared in journals and newspapers, including The Best Australian Poems series (Black Inc). In 2007, he was awarded the Longlines Residency at Varuna. Of his four collections of poetry – Why I Am Not a Farmer, 2000, A Paddock in His Head, 2007, A Tight Circle, 2008, Travelling through the Family, 2012, and Small Town Soundtrack in 2015 – A Paddock in his Head was shortlisted for the 2008 ACT Poetry Prize and Travelling Through the Family (Hunter Publishers) for the 2014 Victorian Premier's Awards.[2]
Writing in Australian Book Review No. 382, Peter Kenneally calls Ryan's style both "cinematic and musical".[3] A piece by Ryan was a rare inclusion of poetry in a 2016 non-fiction book by Don Watson entitled A Single Tree, which was widely lauded for insights into rural Australian life over a long period.[4]
In 2019, Ryan's sixth book was published: The Lowlands of Moyne.
