The Michael Hartnett Poetry Award winner in 2011 was Poet Peter Sirr
Poet Peter Sirr and his collection 'The Thing Is' has been selected by poets James Harpur, Thomas McCarthy and Mary O'Malley as the 2011 winner of the Michael Hartnett Poetry Award. In their citation the judges describe 'The Thing Is' as a "book of great poetic power, a complex and illuminating work of art. Peter Sirr has created a marvellous narrative in poetry, a work of great technical skill in verse-craft that is lifted beyond mere craft by the power of reflective waiting. Page after page, as the hours spent within poetry go by, a sense of heightened autobiography is achieved and a new level of making poems is arrived at."
