Bruce Dawe National Poetry Prize
As an Australian poet, your contribution shapes our culture. None believed this more so than the late Emeritus Professor Bruce Dawe AO, one of Australia’s most acclaimed contemporary poets. Professor Dawe believed that universities should support the study of literature and promote the Arts in Australian society. His passion was turned to action when he chose to sponsor this prominent literary prize.
On behalf of the late Emeritus Professor Bruce Dawe AO, Professor Lara Lamb (Acting Head of School and Dean, Humanities and Communication) and Professor Laurie Johnson (Chair, Bruce Dawe National Poetry Prize Judging Panel) please join us in congratulating the 2023 Bruce Dawe National Poetry Prize winner:
