OZpoet

Come and explore the flavours of contemporary Australian poetry.

Browse down the menu on the left and start exploring the News page, or the Workshop Forum where a lively community of writers share their works in progress and give feedback.

In the Showcase you can read current submissions on monthly themes and see the winners from past months.

Look into our Featured Poets section to explore the work of some notable contemporary Australian poets.

Use Realplayer to listen to the Poetry readings or start browsing our resource pages - poets' sites, calendar of events, support organisations, publishers, dictionaries, and reviews.

For poets, we offer three kinds of participation —

  • monthly showcase [we welcome your submissions, the showcase is selected by guest selectors such as Pam Brown, Coral Hull, Jeff Guess, John Stokes, Carolyne Bruyn, Andrew Burke and others]
  • a host page where you can present your work [contact editor]
  • a link to your site

We plan to have occasional events such as competitions and readings, depending on interest and energy levels.

OZpoet offers a comprehensive range of resources useful for practising poets, dabblers, teachers and students.
