The Peter Porter Poetry Prize is one of the world's leading prizes for an unpublished poem. It's named after one of Australia's finest poets, and a regular contributor to ABR. Now in its seventeenth year, the Porter Prize is worth a total of $10,000. Entries are open now, with a closing date of October 1. For more information, visit our website.

As poets polish their poems both here and overseas, here's an opportunity to listen to all winning poems, going right back to 2005. There's nothing like hearing an author read their own work, and each poem in this episode is read by the poets themselves.
