SHORTLISTED: NSW PREMIERS’ KENNETH SLESSOR PRIZE FOR POETRY 1996
In mid-1994, my first slim manuscript of poems was accepted for publication in the Five Islands Press ‘New Poets Publishing Program’.
Over the next few months I participated in the ‘New Poets Publishing Program’ workshops, and with the advice of poets such as Pam Brown and Deb Westbury I edited the manuscript into my first book, Rhythm in a Dorsal Fin, published in 1995 as part of the New Poets Series 3.
