My chapbook Abendland was self-published in 2006. The poems in this chapbook were all written in the United States and Europe in 2005.
Prater might be called a Neo-Formalist, or a satirist or an elegist. Whatever you want to call him, the sharpness & jagged edges of his poems make for a compelling read. He’s an “Outsider” who is happy to stay that way.

Prater’s poems flow like the text on CNN, but beautifully.
