Cassandra Atherton – CAL Grant Win – Poetry Anthology

Congratulations to staff member Cassandra Atherton: along with collaborator Paul Hetherington, she has been awarded a grant from the Copyright Agency Limited (CAL) to support their forthcoming edited collection, Anthology of Australian Prose Poetry.

Due out in 2020 with Melbourne University Publishing, the book will be the first-ever comprehensive anthology of Australian prose poetry. As co-editors, Cassandra and Paul will select 150 of the best and most important prose poems published in Australia over the course of half a century, from 1970–2020.

“As a nation, we are one of the leading and most prominent practitioners of this important literary form,” says Cassandra. “This book will promote this to national and international readers.”
