Congratulations Nell & Arlen House

[Alan Hayes : Arlen House @ArlenHouse]

Nell Regan has been awarded the 2026 Vincent Buckley Poetry Prize for her new collection *Thirty-Six Views of the Sugarloaf* (Arlen House, 2026).

The judges' citation read: “Regan’s lucid, spacious and deeply evocative poems demonstrate a sensitive approach to place and experience. Regan’s strong interest in Australian poetry, historical and contemporary, and in its connections with Ireland, makes her particularly well suited to the purposes of the Prize. The judges were impressed by the openness and seriousness with which she proposes to engage with place, writers and literary communities in Australia.”
