Warrick Wynne is a Melbourne poet with three published books, the most recent The State of the Rivers and Streams (Five Islands 2002). Many of his poems have appeared in magazines and journals in Australia and overseas.
Wynne's poetry often centres around landscape and the natural world, particularly the coastal zone and the rivers and streams. Wynne has lived on the Mornington Peninsula south of Melbourne for many years and the Port Phillip Bay seascapes appear often in his work.
He was the winner of the Red Earth Poetry Prize in 1992, the Max Harris Poetry Prize in 2003 and has been commended in several other competitions. His first book, Lost Things & Other Poems was published by Butterfly Books in 1992 and his second, The Colour of Maps by Five Islands Press in 1995.
Wynne works occasionally as an assistant poetry editor for the Tasmanian magazine, Famous Reporter and coordinates the Education Committee of the Poetry Australia Foundation. In 2000, he was awarded an Australia Council Overseas Residency and spent time at the Tyrone Guthrie Centre in Ireland completng his third collection. His Ireland 2000 site discusses that experience.
