A Remarkable Year!

Leave a reply

It’s been a big year – for me, with the publication of Remarkable as Breathing (a confluence of the poetic and contemplative) and for Liquid Amber Press – zooms, prizes, publications of 6 collections, a new anthology on its way and our first in-person Liquid Amber Poetry Festival October 26 in Footscray, Naarm. Oh, and the day job!.

Check it all out! Liquid Amber Press and Poetry hub: https://liquidamberpress.com.au/.

I’ve been so pleased to bring together my most recent collection on poetry and breathing – so many elements of my life and practice coming together. I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Leave a reply

The Liquid Amber Poetry Prize is back, bigger and better than ever.
First prize is $1000 and second prize $500. An Emerging Poet will win an editing pack with Liquid Amber. Poems on the long list will be published in our annual Anthology. Whoohoo!

This year’s theme is ‘Home’. What place or experiences evoke ‘home’ for you?

What are the textures, colours or relationships that you associate with home? What paths lead to home and how do we find them? What might it mean to find or reclaim home on stolen Country?

Check out our provocations and make a poetic response to the idea of home, in whatever ways your imagination takes you. We’re looking forward to reading your poems!

Entry form and info here: https://liquidamberpress.com.au/2023/01/24/2023-poetry-prize-home/

Open now until 1st May
