Very chuffed to pick up another couple of Bush Laureate nominations this year. In some pretty illustrious company, too.

Thanks, Marty.

The first was for 'Book of the Year' for 'The Brigadier's Horse and other poems from the Western Front'. The poems were written by my grandfather, Arthur Dean, during WW1, and compiled/published by myself last year.

The other was for 'Children's Poem of the Year' for a poem written by myself, 'Two Little Raindrops'. It was published by NSW School Magazine.
