Jordie Albiston

Jordie Albiston has published eleven poetry collections and a handbook on poetic form. Two of her collections have been adapted for music-theatre, both enjoying seasons at the Sydney Opera House. Albiston's work has been recognised by many prizes including the Mary Gilmore Award and the NSW Premier's Prize.

Albiston works within formal boundaries: traditional, experimental, or self-imposed. She seeks the musical cadence while endeavouring to exact a mathematical sense of existence. She has an entry in Who's Who in Twentieth-Century World Poetry, and is mentioned in The Cambridge Companion to Australian Literature and The Princeton Encyclopedia of Poetry & Poetics.
