'This week on The ABR Podcast we feature the 2025 Peter Porter Prize shortlisted poems, as read by the five poets. Now in its twenty-first year, the Porter Prize is one of Australia’s most lucrative and respected poetry awards. It honours the life and work of the great Australian poet Peter Porter, a contributor to ABR for many years. All poets writing in English are eligible to enter.
'This year ABR received 1,171 entries from twenty-nine countries. We thank our three judges: Sarah Holland-Batt, Paul Kane and Peter Rose. Together they longlisted ten poems. From this longlist, a shortlist of five was selected by the judges. The winner of the 2025 Porter Prize will be announced at a ceremony in Melbourne in February. Details of the event, the longlist, and the judges’ reports are all available on the ABR website.' (Production summary)
