Fran Graham is a poet with a difference.

About Her

Her early poems were mainly about family; parents, children and the challenges of child-rearing and domestic life. This was the landscape of her early years.

She still writes about family but mainly grandchildren these days. But now she has the time to notice the real landscape and contemplate her life experiences in a self-mocking way.
