Harrison Owen

Albert John "Harrison" Owen (24 June 1890 – 30 May 1966) was an Australian playwright, novelist, poet, and journalist.

Although Owen spent most of his life as a daily journalist, his creative flair was never jeopardized.

He released a collective of his satirical and verse poetry from The Bulletin in 1923, entitled Tommyrot Rhymes for Children and Grown-ups who Ought to Know Better.

With many of his Bulletin workmates, Owen co-founded the now defunct Australian Authors' and Writers' Guild in 1915.

From 1920, Owen moved to London and worked as a freelance journalist.
