About Anne
Anne Gleeson lives in the town of Terang in the Western District of Victoria, Australia. Her life is finely balanced between her passions of funeral care and writing.
Poetry is her great love. Her three poetry books In between the dancing, Maisie and the Black Cat Band and Small Acts of Purpose were published by Interactive Press and can be purchased from them or via this website.
Anne’s essays have been published in the major Australian newspapers and literary journals. She is currently working on a collection of these.
Sometimes Anne writes stories or articles for more popular magazines or special interest journals.
Anne loves engaging with an audience and will happily present on any or combined aspects of her work in the writing, educational or funeral worlds. “A born storyteller and teacher, Anne’s gift with words and people, shines through every performance.”

E A Gleeson has done it again, with poems delivering to the reader intense moments of love, curious whimsy, small surprises that go deep. …every poem in this book qualifies as a virtuoso display of that formidable and endearing skill.

E A Gleeson’s eye for revelatory detail, her ability to come up with phrases that turn observation into exploration and description into revelation – these are the qualities in her poems which leave us recommitted to the world and to the wonder of language.
