Warrick Wynne's Poetry Pages


I am a Melbourne poet with three published books, the most recent being The State of the Rivers and Streams (Five Islands 2002). Many of my poems have appeared in magazines and journals in Australia and overseas. My poetry often centres around landscape and the natural world, particularly the coastal zone and the rivers and streams. I've lived on the Mornington Peninsula south of Melbourne for many years and the Port Phillip Bay and Western Port Bay seascapes appear often in my work. I was the winner of the Red Earth Poetry Prize in 1992, the Max Harris Poetry Prize in 2003 and has been commended in several other competitions. My first book, Lost Things & Other Poems was published by Butterfly Books in 1992 and the second, The Colour of Maps by Five Islands Press in 1995. In 2000, I was awarded an Australia Council Overseas Residency and spent time at the Tyrone Guthrie Centre in Ireland completing his third collection. My Ireland 2000 site discusses that experience. *LATEST* My poetry books are now available directly from the author.
