Best of Australian Poems 2023 is a representation of what is happening in Australian poetry at this specific moment in time-what poets were feeling, thinking and imagining across many different forms, mediums and lexicons ... Many of our most accomplished poets are published alongside new and emerging voices, reflecting Australian poetry's continuing evolution. - Gig Ryan & Panda Wong
Best of Australian Poems 2023 is a poetic snapshot of the year that was. Guest Edited by highly respected poets Gig Ryan and Panda Wong, this collection captures the richness and diversity of Australian writing in the contemporary moment.
The third in an annual series from national poetry organisation Australian Poetry, this volume includes narrative poems, prose poems, formal poems. It features archival poetry, digital poetry, spoken word and concrete poetry. There is poetry of resistance, of the domestic, of the body, of the divine. There are prize-winning poems and previously unpublished poems, lyric and anti-lyric poems, love poems and elegies.
This is a collection of poems to understand the present, to read and re-read, to send to friends and family.
