Ron Price has written some five million words since he started writing poetry in 1980, but is still neither famous nor rich. Over five thousand of his poems are kept in the Baha’i World Centre Library and some of his poetry is in a dozen other Baha'i libraries. His poetry and essays have been published in some twenty newspapers, magazines, journals and books in Australia and overseas. He has taught at four universities, two Colleges of Advanced Education, five Tafe/Community Colleges, two high schools and four primary schools. Ron was strongly influenced by the poetry of Roger White in the eighties; and in the nineties the Mount Carmel Project has been the primary inspiration behind his poetry. There are many other influences: history, autobiography, his career as a teacher, living in 37 houses in 25 towns since 1962, Emily Dickinson, John Keats, many other poets, his Mother inter alia.
