I had the strange experience of presenting online at a conference in my home town from the other side of the world last week - on a niche literary figure who nurtured the Penguins, literature, drama and the Dionysian in Adelaide: C.R Jury

I had the pleasure of interviewing Kim Scott, a two-time Miles Franklin Award winner, for @overlandjournal.bsky.social I consider Kim among the best and most important Australian authors and we delved deeply into his body of work, his language project and the aftermath of the referendum.

Had a great time in Hobart last week for @austmodernist.bsky.social Modernism at the edge conference. Listening to @michellecahill.bsky.social was a wonderful way to end the final day! Squeezed in an appropriate trip to MONA before I left too
