Since then, he has lived all over the country, in places such as Alabama, Kansas City and Rhode Island. He currently lives in the Badlands of North Dakota, still looking for a way to get out. Frank has been published in various reviews, journals and online zines. His first book, Interstate Chokehold, was published by NeoPoiesis Press in 2009. Frank is in the process of completing a third poetry collection and intends to take up additional prose\/fiction writing and perhaps clay pigeon shooting. \u003cbr\u003eReviews \u003cbr\u003eRead Frank Reardon at your own risk. He'll open your heart with a corkscrew and leave you wide-eyed and longing for more...these are goddamed excellent poems.\u003cbr\u003e - Dan Fante, author of Chump Change, Kissed By a Fat Waitress and Mooch \u003cbr\u003eYou're sitting in a dark room, alone, washing down Valium with coffee, wishing you could see the stars through the dirty window; instead, you see a reflection of yourself, the lines on your face heavier, the life in your eyes drained. You hope for something better: a better girl, a better place, a better you. Cigarette smoke cuts the bitterness for a second. You squint, through the haze, trying so hard to see something in yourself. The heater brightens the room when you take a drag. There's nothing left. May as well write about it and hope to hell someone comes along to share your coffee and your life, making those damn lines mean something more than just empty scars.\u003cbr\u003e - R L Raymond, editor, Pigeon Bike Press \u003cbr\u003eFrank Reardon's poetry is high-voltage  It's like when my brother stuck a screwdriver in an outlet to see what it would do.

Frank currently lives in North Dakota and is working on his first novel. \u003cbr\u003eReviews \u003cbr\u003eFrank Reardon is a truly exceptional young poet currently rising up from the bowels of the internet. One could compare his work to prominent street poets of past generations, but it would be unfair to lump him in with anyone, for his work has no problem standing on its own merit.\u003cbr\u003e - John Dorsey \u003cbr\u003eFrank Reardon works words like a hungry young prize fighter, creating killer combinations that produce knock out verse. A real contender, the kids a triple threat with heart, style and class. An up and comer to be reckoned with.\u003cbr\u003e - S.A. Griffin \u003cbr\u003eFrank Reardon is a prophet, word brawler and unapologetic caller of societys bullshit. His words are brutally honest and can take you places you didnt know existed or werent comfortable traveling to alone. One of the best voices of our generation.\u003cbr\u003e - Richard Daley \u003cbr\u003eFrank Reardon is a heart beating through impenetrable odds.
