In this episode, a conversation with Winnie Dunn – a Tongan-Australian writer, editor, the General Manager of Sweatshop Literacy Movement, and now author of the novel Dirt Poor Islanders. Dunn's book is a potent, mesmerising novel that opens our eyes to the brutal fractures navigated when growing up between two cultures and the importance of understanding all the many pieces of yourself. Winnie Dunn was joined in conversation at Readings Carlton by Evelyn Araluen, poet and literary editor. Araluen's first book, Dropbear, won the 2022 Stella Prize.

A powerful conversation with Bundjalung poet Evelyn Araluen about her Stella-award winning collection Dropbear, and more broadly her creative and academic practice. Evelyn's poetry, together with her work as a literary editor and academic, interrogates the history of Australian literature; the tropes that curate our idea of Australianness and the influence of language - both English and Bundjalung - on our relationship to the land. Earmarked with evocative readings and ceremoniously facilitated by Daniel Browning, this is a simply stunning session from the 2022 Byron Writers Festival.
We're back with the third installment of the Ranger's Apprentice series by John Flanagan -- ominously titled, The Icebound Land. The series follows Will, apprentice to the ranger Halt, who works with a cast of characters to battle evil forces in the country of Araluen and beyond. In the third book, we follow Will and Evanlyn, aka Araluen's Princess Cassandra, as they try to escape their Skandian kidnappers, while Halt and Horace race through the land of Gallica to rescue them. We talk about how Horace is a himbo, Halt is too OP, and Jarl Erak has a kinda good, kinda sucky redemption arc. We also dig into some thorny political messages, like how monarchs seem to always be great and Araluen, aka Medieval England, always seems to be better than other countries.

As the six-month anniversary of her Stella Prize win approaches, First Nations poet Evelyn Araluen has issued a call-to-arms to the arts and publishing industries: don't let verse slip through the cracks and ensure your attempts at inclusion are more than tokenistic.Earlier this year Araluen became the first person to win the $60,000 Stella prize for a book of poetry – Dropbear – which has since gone on to sell nearly 15,000 copies.Araluen discusses the importance of writing, prize money, self-doubt and Instagram T-shirts, but also concerns about Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander representation, in an episode of Good Weekend Talks hosted by The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald journalist Broede Carmody, a poet himself.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Mellissa Oliver from Unity Books Wellington reviews Dropbear by Evelyn Araluen, published by Queensland University Press.
“At the very least I wanted to make people focus on an actual more honest rendering of these canonical texts of Australian literature ... We were not visible in these stories because we were not meant to exist in these narratives.” On Thursday 12 May, Evelyn Araluen joined host Jeanine Leane live on stage at the Wheeler Centre to discuss her debut poetry collection Dropbear and its landmark win. For 10 years, the Stella Prize has celebrated books by Australian women and non-binary writers. The annual $50,000 prize is awarded to the work of fiction, non-fiction, YA, graphic novel or (eligible for the first time in 2022) poetry deemed most original, excellent and engaging. This year, Stella has awarded a further $10,000 to Araluen – bringing the total prize money for the winner of the 2022 Stella Prize to $60,000. The Stella judges said ‘Dropbear is a breathtaking collection of poetry and short prose which arrests key icons of mainstream Australian culture and turns them inside out, with malice aforethought. Araluen's brilliance sizzles when she goes on the attack against the kitsch and the cuddly: against Australia's fantasy of its own racial and environmental innocence.' This event was presented in partnership with Stella. The bookseller for this event was Hill of Content.

Bundjalung writer Evelyn Araluen wins the Stella Prize 2022 for her debut poetry collection Drop Bear.
Evelyn Araluen wins the 2022 Stella Prize, and we hear about an old fairytale with a Blak twist.
For the first time in its history, poetry was eligible for the 2022 Stella Prize. Poet Evelyn Araluen took out the award for her collection of poetry and prose "Dropbear".
"Particularly after the hellish year we've just had, poetry makes the burden of existence a lot nicer." Each month we celebrate an Australian debut release of fiction or non-fiction in the Kill Your Darlings First Book Club. For March that debut is Dropbear by Evelyn Araluen, out now from the University of Queensland Press. Dropbear is an innovative mix of poetry and prose that confronts the tropes and iconography of an unreconciled nation, and interrogates the complexities of colonial and personal history. With an alternately playful, tender and mournful voice, Dropbear is a witness to the entangled present, an uncompromising provocation of history, and an embattled but redemptive hope for a decolonial future. First Book Club host Ellen Cregan spoke with Evelyn for an online event in partnership with Yarra Libraries. Our theme song is Broke for Free's ‘Something Elated'.
