The Best Australian Poetry 2009
The Best Australian Poetry 2009 celebrates the originality and verve of Australian poetry at this moment. In this collection of 40 poems Alan Wearne brings long experience as a poet and teacher of poetry, and a sharp eye for the surprising. Bookended with an introduction by Wearne and the poets' commentary on their work, this year's collection is a sophisticated and accessible sampling of recent achievements in Australian poetry.
  


I thank Madonna Duffy, Rob Cullinan, Taressa Brennan and Belinda Jennings at University of Queensland Press. I am delighted they pursued me after my return from Boston assuring me that the revamped UQP was still interested in my public musings.

Frank Brennan, author of Tampering with Asylum and Acting on Conscience
