I don't know how long the link will last, but scroll down this page of "Overland" and there's a poem by Judith Wright to "Young Poets". I thought it was beautiful and encouraging. http://www.overlandexpress.org/poetry_prize.html

Forgot to add, feel free to add your own link to a favourite poem.

Thanks, Jenny. It's wonderful advice encapsulated in a poem.

I enjoy Judith Wright's work, and I gave away a copy of her book Birds as a prize in a recent contest. I'm going to get my own copy.

I can't believe people are so unselfish as to give away books. Not me. Uh-huh. I'm a book miser. Definitely treat yourself to your own copy! And isn't LimeyDawg unselfish with his sonnet contest prizes? There's nice people around here.
