Baby C has arrived & the fog I carried through pregnancy has lifted. I am HUNGRY for books again, reading in every small moment I can. Audiobooks, ebooks, print, a friend’s manuscript. So relieved to feel like myself again, even in the messy, tiring early postpartum period.

New article in Journal of Writing in Creative Practice. I hope I’ve contributed something useful in thinking about both the creation and reception of artworks (particularly when those works are engaging w the climate crisis). JWCP is available via uni libraries but hit me up if you don’t have access

Took P outside for a bit once the cool change came through but realised there were tiny particles of ash raining down on our skin. Had thoughts exactly like this below. And just thinking of the people fighting the fires, in such extreme conditions. Awful & devastating.

Richard Flanagan on point: "But with this act of utter folly and appalling weakness, the Adelaide Festival board – and the politicians who direct it – have, by scapegoating a Palestinian writer, now destroyed Adelaide Writers Week for the foreseeable future..." www.smh.com.au/national/if-...

If Tony Abbott is welcome at Adelaide Writers’ Week, Randa Abdel-Fattah should be too
Australia’s best writers festival could collapse within days as international and local writers boycott it in protest at the removal of Randa Abdel-Fattah.

Hi, bushfire survivor here and NSW RFS volunteer. If you think you are going to stay and defend your property...Don't. You are not prepared for the intense radiant heat, the ember showers, the smoke, the collapse of all of your energy. If you have been instructed to leave. Leave early. #Bushfire

Meanjin 66.1, 2007, ordered in at a regional bookstore and enthusiastically pored over by a baby writer discovering the incredible landscape of Australian literature. Meanjin 82.4, 2023, author copy received when a mid-career writer published a short story, The Station, in her dream journal.

I think we should agree that the explanation proffered yesterday by the MUP board chair for Meanjin’s axing (“purely financial reasons”) is a nonsense. Which begs the question: what was the real reason? This is a scandal.

My novel/novella in progress instinctively seems to have five parts; I’ve just finished drafting part four. Have some vague notions of how it all comes together and I hope I can nail it over the summer once classes are done! It might involve moss, childbirth, a house disappearing into a forest.
