My name is Anna Krien, writer of the usual suspects – journalism, essays, fiction and poetry. I also have a penchant for skeletons, particularly of the domestic kind, and am currently working on a friend to allow me to dig up her seven childhood rabbits. Born in Melbourne – I grew up in St Kilda and lived the normal Australian childhood, flattening 20 cent coins on tram tracks, eating icy-poles, making smoke bombs out of ping pong balls, bringing home numerous stray cats, and struggled with an addiction to vanilla essence.
I won the Australian Press Council Award when I was eighteen, receiving a well-timed cheque that paid off my best friend’s dad’s car which I had just crashed. Since then I’ve had work published in The Big Issue, The Monthly, The Age newspaper, Best Australian Essays 2005 & Best Australian Essays 2006 – published by Black Inc, Griffith Review, Voiceworks, Going Down Swinging, COLORS, the program, Frankie magazine, and Dazed & Confused. Once I had a neurological cat scan, which came back saying I had an unremarkable brain.
