Nathan Curnow wins the 2010 Josephine Ulrick Poetry Prize! [26.05.2010]
Bunny-suit wearing gadabout and Puncher and Wattmann poet Nathan Curnow has won the 2010 Josephine Ulrick Poetry Prize for his poem endtime.
Here’s what the judges had to say:
We know when we read great work… it is speaking to us and it might also be us speaking. It tells us what we know that we didn’t know we knew. Thus, it makes us feel foolish and wise at the same time.
Australian literature, I think, needs more poetry that makes us realize more than just what we think of ourselves… More than anything, it needs poets like the ones here tonight who care enough to be able to write what will remain worthwhile.
SPUNC congratulates Nathan on his win and cannot think of a more deserving, charming, and likable fellow than the man we call “Nathan”.
