8 min - Three Poems by Dorothy Porter - Read by Andrea Goldsmith | 30in30
Today marks the first day of Poetry Month, and it is an absolute honour to kick off with three never before published works by one of Australia’s greatest contemporary poets - the late Dorothy Porter, whose electric presence is still felt in the Australian poetry community today. Thank you to her partner Andrea Goldsmith for donating these poems 💜
The novelist, Andrea Goldsmith, met Dorothy Porter in 1992 on the Victorian Women's Writers’ Train. They were together until Dorothy’s death in December, 2008. Both writers were short-listed for the 2003 Miles Franklin award, Andrea for her fourth novel, The Prosperous Thief, and Dorothy for her verse novel, Wild Surmise.
You can read all three of Dorothy's poems, as well as a poetic reflection from Andrea here https://redroompoetry.org/poets/dorothy-porter/suite
