thanks for the invite and congrats on the new bub. This is in your house, no? What a cool idea! Can't go out and see the poetry so bring it to your loungeroom. I'd love to come, but I'm living in Sri Lanka at the moment which makes it a bit tricky. Like the site too - looking forward to ahvign a poke around it
Cheers

They were good bunch, Sharp minds & few belly laughs.

Sydney Poetry Prize cancelled

Posted on February 11, 2013 at 10:00 3 Comments 1 Like

With regret I'm announcing that SydneyPoetry.com won't be running the Sydney Poetry Prize this year.

The inaugural prize was a great success last year, a lot of fun to conduct, and it was something we had obviously hoped to continue.
