Craig Powell (poet)

Craig Powell (16 November 1940 – 29 August 2022) was an Australian poet.

Life edit

Powell was born in Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia on 16 November 1940.[1] He graduated in medicine from Sydney University and later specialised in Psychiatry.

From 1972 to 1982, he lived in Canada where he trained with the Toronto Institute of Psychoanalysis. He spent the remainder of his life in Sydney, Australia where he was a psychoanalyst in private practice and a visiting medical officer in Mental Health, at the Prince of Wales Hospital. In 2011, he fell, resulting in traumatic brain injury that forced him to retire from psychoanalysis and poetry, though his existing work is sometimes included in collections.

He won the 1983 Mattara Newcastle Poetry Prize[2] and was a co-winner of the 45th International Poetry Competition (1989) organized by the Quarterly Review of Literature, Princeton, New Jersey. He has published eight poetry collections and individual poems were included in The Best Australian Poetry 2007 and in New Oxford Book of Australian Verse. More recently he published chapbooks The Poem As A Place (September 2004), Poems For A Marriage (July 2008) and A Mind Knowing Us (2013) through Picaro Press.

Powell died at Ryde, New South Wales, Australia on 29 August 2022.[1]
