1 1 y separately published work icon Poetry of Home : The Liquid Amber Prize Anthology Anne M. Carson (editor), Rose Lucas (editor), Reneé Pettitt-Schipp (editor), Seddon : Liquid Amber Press , 2023 27398539 2023 anthology poetry

'The 2023 Liquid Amber Poetry Prize invited poets to respond to the broad topic of 'home', which it turns out, can occupy a very rich yet often complex place within human experience. Poetry is, as ever, a powerful medium to reflect and communicate that complexity. In the variety and skillfulness of their poetic craft, the poets in this Long List anthology have provided readers with poignant and insightful reflections on how we might all understand the idea of home - a place that can hold us or become our undoing - as a vital human 'centre of gravity' to be acknowledged and grappled with, whether we inhabit it or not.' (Publication summary)

1 1 y separately published work icon The Detective's Chair : Prose Poems about Fictional Detectives Anne M. Carson , Seddon : Liquid Amber Press , 2023 26575561 2023 selected work poetry

'Drawing inspiration from a range of fictional detectives, Anne M. Carson's 'The Detective's Chair' is a whimsical collection of 32 short prose poems which suggests a creative correlation between problem solving and the crafting of a poem. In a playful homage to these colourful fictional sleuths, Carson focuses in on the nature of creativity itself, acknowledging that it's often in these moments of reflective 'sitting,' away from the bustle of clue collecting and intentional effort, that the pieces of the 'solution' - be it crime or poem - might start coming together. Each poem is beautifully illustrated with delicate line drawings by Rene Carrasco, bringing to life the different space of reflective possibility for that detective.'(Publication summary)

1 2 y separately published work icon Poetry of Encounter : The Liquid Amber Prize Anthology Anne M. Carson (editor), Rose Lucas (editor), Seddon : Liquid Amber Press , 2022 25979053 2022 anthology poetry 'The 2022 Liquid Amber Poetry Prize asked poets to respond to textual and visual prompts on the theme of encounter. What indeed might it mean to encounter ‘the strange skin of the unexpected’? When are we taken out of our comfort zones to meet the challenge of the different? The fifty-four poems in this anthology are the Prize long list, including the winners. These high-quality, widely varied poems are evidence of the malleability of the form and the vibrant state of poetry in Australia today, despite or perhaps because of, the complex issues currently facing the world.' (Publication summary)
