Announcing the Australian Poetry & NAHR
Eco-Poetry Fellowship 2023, Four weeks, June 2023
The theme is AIR
In partnership with the Nature, Art & Habitat Residency (NAHR), Australian Poetry is once again pleased to announce the call-out for this exciting fellowship. Available exclusively to Australian Poetry subscribers, the Australian Poetry/ NAHR Eco-Poetry Fellowship is to be conferred on a single Australian poet able to take up residency in the village of Sottochiesa, Taleggio Valley, northern Italy, between 1-27th June 2023. The selected poet will be one of seven Fellows participating in the 2023 June NAHR residency program; more information can be found at https://nahr.it and applicants are strongly encouraged to read it closely before making their applications. Recipients of the AP/ NAHR Eco-Poetry Fellowship have residency fees waived; however, it remains the responsibility of the winner to make their own way to and from Taleggio, as well as covering the costs of food during the residency.

https://nahr.it/Current-Program
Set in northern Italy and situated in the heart of the Orobie Alps, the NAHR program offers a lively space to think and create, collaborate and interact. Our residents take full advantage of the surrounding natural landscapes as well as Italy’s rich material culture, which combines vernacular traditions with innovative approaches to space and place, people and their communities.
Alongside a current CV (which will include the contact details of three referees), a one-page statement of personal/creative motivation, and a one-page project proposal outlining creative activities relating to AIR (the theme of NAHR’s 2023 program), those interested in applying for this award are requested to also supply a folio of up to five poems (no more than 200 lines in total) which in some way relate to the 2023 topic.
Please note, in order to apply for this award, applicants must be current subscribers to Australian Poetry. If you are not currently a subscriber, but wish to apply for this award, please subscribe first to Australian Poetry at https://www.australianpoetry.org/support/
