Frank Seiden occasionally wrote poems for special occasions during his school and; working years. Unfortunately, those poems and the ones from high school and college were lost. In 1996, he joined a workshop for writers, called 'Taproot Work shops'. After a couple of years, he was asked to lead a workshop, which he did for a year-and-a-half until he moved to California in 2008. There, he joined a club for writers in his community. However, the club did not allow critique on peoples' writings. A few people from that club did want critique, and joined him in forming a new club, which he still leads.
