Just re-upping this because... we love it so much. Harry Reid won the Mary Gilmore Award on Tuesday night. Here he responds to being shortlisted...
"Obviously it's an honour to be shortlisted... but as we all know, poetry is a team sport, so really, it's just more credit to the team," says poet Harry Reid, whose book LEAVE ME ALONE made the shortlist for the Mary Gilmore Award. @corditepoetry
It is an absolute honour to share this award with Julieanne Lamond.
