Ross Keating is a poet who lives in Sydney, Australia. His first book, Francis Brabazon Poet of the Silent Word has been described as the definitive biography of the Australian poet who was a disciple-poet of the spiritual Master Meher Baba (1894-1969). The book covers all of Brabazon's writing including his creation of an English ghazal in the 1960's which grew out of his relationship with his Master while living with him in India. A First Act is Keating's first collection of poems. Presently he lectures in Education at a university in Sydney.
