Notes from Nick

Thanks so much for the work on this article. A few small errors here:

• Burns Fellowship was awarded before Nonsense came out.
• Was Highly Commended in the Kathleen Grattan four times. The first time two years earlier than the Emma Neale judging, when Cilla McQueen was judge, for a selection titled 'Anonymous Phenomena'. The fourth time was in 2021 for a collection titled 'The Stupefying', judged by David Eggleton.
• First publication was 'Describing Matthew' in Landfall 192 (1996). First accepted that is. Perhaps three poems in Sport 16 (1996) came out first 'My Favourite', 'The Theology of Never Finishing What You' and 'The Back of Me'.
