Poetry Titillations Part 2

Toby Fitch

Here are some more forthcoming Australian poetry titles to get into a state about. It’s difficult to be comprehensive when compiling a list about the future, especially when that future is poetic, and extra-especially given that poetry publishers, thankfully, aren’t as media-hungry as politicians. So, there are more books in the works without titles or funding yet, but they’ll be a nice surprise when they flash us later in the year.

NB: If any publishers want to add to this list, feel free to contact me or use the comments field below.

    It’s great to see an online list of upcoming collections. I’ve NEVER seen something this extensive, not even in the broadsheets at the beginning of each year. Thanks Toby.

    I’m hoping I might be one of the 3 Triptych Poets mentioned. I mailed off my poems for consideration a week ago.
