Description

Best of Australian Poems 2022 is an annual anthology collecting previously published and unpublished poems to create a poetic snapshot of the year that was. Capturing the richness and diversity of Australian poetry, across a timeframe of 1 July 2021 to 7 August 2022, the series, now in its second year, explores how poetic responses to the contemporary moment develop with each passing year.

The book opens with an introduction by its 2022 editors, award-winning and highly respected poets and editors, Jeanine Leanne and Judith Beveridge. Both Jeanine, a Wiradjuri poet, and Judith have extensive experience as poetry teachers, academics, and poetry anthologists previously.

The Best of Australian Poetry (BoAP) series is published by Australia's national poetry organisation, Australian Poetry, and features two different guest editors each year, to amplify the range of voices selected. It is funded by the Australia Council for the Arts and individual patrons.
