Just re-upping this because... we love it so much. Harry Reid won the Mary Gilmore Award on Tuesday night. Here he responds to being shortlisted...

"Obviously it's an honour to be shortlisted... but as we all know, poetry is a team sport, so really, it's just more credit to the team," says poet Harry Reid, whose book LEAVE ME ALONE made the shortlist for the Mary Gilmore Award. @corditepoetry

A very special congrats to Fellows @BGriffenFoley for her well-deserved linkage grant to dive into the @ABCaustralia's archives to enable deeper understandings of it in the lives of Aussies. We can't wait to see what you find!
