Australian poet
Francis MacNamara (c. 1810 – 28 August 1861), known as "Frank the Poet", was an Irish writer and poet who was transported as a convict to the penal colony of New South Wales. While incarcerated, he composed improvised verse that captured convict life and exposed the cruelties of the convict system. MacNamara's poems were initially passed on orally among convicts and later published.
