AS FEATURED IN:

Writing from a life marked by adversity, and a deep awareness of and sensitivity to; the world around him. A former anti-government extremist, a former addict and petty criminal, a lifelong devotee of the pen and page, Brodie Finegan Forbes has built a formidable cultural presence and an expansive body of literary work spanning poetry, philosophy, memoir, and non-fiction.

Having self-published 13 books, he is best known for his ongoing Untitled Poetry Lineage, a growing collection of inconveniently honest, and psychologically insightful works that examine the human condition with unflinching sincerity.

Forbesian Poetry is a 21st-century poetic voice originated by Australian poet Brodie Finegan Forbes. It is often labelled as raw, contradictory, philosophically confronting, chronologically autobiographical, and fiercely alive. It collides the ordinary brutality of modern life with timeless questions of God, death, love, ambition, suffering and legacy.

Forbesian Poetry treats everything as material.

Brodie has been described as embodying a distinctly 21st-century incarnation of the Poète Maudit, the tortured poet reborn for the modern age. Wrought through desperation, urgency, absolutes, ruin, and reinvention, he is transforming the wounds of an uncommon life into poetry; into something he seems helpless against.
