@NWhiteAuthor @Lorinimus @BenLeighHobson @BramPresser @clairegcoleman @mitch_wright64 @m_riwoe @zbradley_ @julialawrinson @lauraelvery @BishopAlice @GillOshaughness Congrats Neil. @Lorinimus is right about the cover. I’m judging the book by it 😉

[Angela Savage @angsavage]

Thank you Sarah. This feedback sort of makes it all worthwhile.

@angsavage just visited our @RMIT_PWE class and it was magical. I’ve been panicking about not writing while working on Sunder/other projects.

She spoke about things in phases—sometimes we feed the community, sometimes we focus on our own work. Felt my stomach unknot ❤️

@wtb_Michael @NurseIngrid2 I believe they’re chomping on the pines in the Fitzroy Gardens 😍

Asked what we can bring to reframing the Australian narrative going forward with truth telling, Melissa Lucashenko advises humility and curiosity #MilduraWF2024

[Angela Savage @angsavage]

The dual timeline in Melissa Lucashenko’s novel Edenglassie was inspired by the mirroring that characterises Aboriginal cosmology and theology #MilduraWF2024

[Angela Savage @angsavage]

The breakthrough for Edenglassie came to Melissa Lucashenko in a dream: that it needed to be a book about love to tell the story of what happened—to contextualise the attempted genocide #MilduraWF2024
