Notes

  • This award was established through generous donations from family and friends to commemorate the life and work of the late Vincent Buckley - poet, critic and Professor of English at the University of Melbourne. It is a biennial prize which provides the winner with a return airfare and a modest contribution towards living expenses. It is awarded alternately to enable an Australian poet to visit Ireland, and to facilitate the visit of an Irish poet to Australia.
