Poetry Bargains at Booktopia.
Booktopia are having their annual end of year sale and I thought I would take a look through their poetry bargain listings. I am not sure how long the sale is going for but I hope to get my hand on some of these below.
There's a good mix from international best sellers and small collections, to some current Australian poets.
Radiance by Andy Kissane from publishers Puncher & Wattmann. Radiance was shortlisted for the 2015 Victorian Premier’s Prize for Poetry.

Selected Poems by Kenneth Slessor. If you went through the Australian Schooling system in the 80's and 90's, Slessor's work was on the curriculum. A bargain at this price for a good range of his poetry.

Among the Regulars by Andy Jackson. This is his first collection and an absolute steal at $1.00. I don't really need to say more do I?
