WA poets Inc do so much to promote and support poetry both in Western Australia and Australia through their poetry competitions, the Ros Spencer Poetry Prize and Poetry d'Amour, and their accompanying anthologies. Back in 2019, I entered the Ros Spencer Poetry Prize and they publish my entry, Recipe for a Poem in the Brushstrokes anthology. It was a huge boost for a poet who was just beginning to flex her writing muscles again.
I am so pleased that after entering this year's Poetry d'Amour competition, two of my poems – Liquefy and The Ocean of You – have been published in the 2023 Poetry d'Amour anthology.It's a huge honour! Thanks to WA Poets for publishing my poems and to the judges of the prize for reading my work.
