Peter Bakowski shortlisted for Victorian Premier's Literary Awards [08.09.2010]
Beneath Our Armour by Peter Bakowski has been shortlisted for the CJ Dennis Prize for Poetry in the Victorian Premier’s Literary Awards.
Here are the judges’ comments:
“Peter Bakowski’s Beneath Our Armour is a strongly crafted suite of portrait poems. From the everyday person to the wild persona, from suburban scuffling streets of Melbourne to labour camps of Siberia, his poetry is infused with empathy. Bakowski makes us believe that inside every home is a heartache. His work is touching, transforming and rich. He writes in his introduction that his aim is to write accessible poems, to use ordinary words to say extraordinary things. He has done this and so much more.”
