Poets from around Australia are encouraged to submit their finest works on the theme ‘Hope’ as part of the annual Australian Catholic University Prize for Poetry competition, which has been around since 2013.

The Australian Catholic University are looking for outstanding poetry with the theme Resilience, reflecting on Jaeda DeWalt’s supposition, “When we learn how to become resilient, we learn how to embrace the beautifully broad spectrum of the human experience,” and Sharon Salzberg’s thesis, “Resilience is based on compassion for ourselves as well as compassion for others.” Photo: Sourced.
