Kerryn Goldsworthy has pointed out, in a comment to the Stella Prize Short List article on Rochford Street Review, that poetry collections are excluded from consideration for the Stella Prize (Only Fiction and Non-Fiction areincluded). Interestingly Lisa Jacobson's The Sunlit Zone is allowed because it is a 'verse-novel.

What do women poets think of this exclusion? Does it make any sense?
