Advances – September 2007
More cockles, more shells
In its short life the ABR Poetry Prize has become one of the most prestigious poetry competitions in the country. Now it is even more lucrative, with combined prizes of $4000 and a first prize of $3000. Entries are invited for the fourth ABR Poetry Prize. Full details and the entry form appear on page 15 and on our website. Poets have until December 15 to enter. The previous winners were Stephen Edgar, Alex Skovron and Judith Bishop. Advances was pleased to see that the latter’s poem ‘Still Life with Cockles and Shells’, which won the 2006 ABR Poetry Prize, has been included in The Best Australian Poetry 2007 (UQP), edited by John Tranter.
