What's up guys
I'm so stoked to see two amazing poets winning the Forward Prize this year! I mean, can you believe it's been 31 years and we're finally seeing a joint winner? It just goes to show how diverse and talented the poetry scene is out there
. And let me tell you, both Karen Solie and Vidyan Ravinthiran are absolute geniuses when it comes to exploring our world's toughest issues - climate change, war, migration... these are the kinds of topics we need more voices on
. I'm also loving that Isabelle Baafi's debut collection Chaotic Good is getting some serious love, and Abeer Ameer's single poem At Least is giving me all the feels
. The Forward Prize really knows how to highlight some of poetry's best talent
