This is the first interview with Jeanine Leane about her book of poetry, Gawimarra Gathering.
Everyone. We know we say that every episode of Booksmart is special, but this one is PARTICULARLY so (we promise). And it's poetry too, so even better. This week, Hannah Diviney got to sit down with proud Wiradjuri poet Jeanine Leane to discuss her new work of poetry titled Gawimarra: Gathering. We don't want to spoil the collection, or this discussion, but here's the poetry in a nutshell: 'Gawimarra: Gathering' moves from deeply tender meditations on Country, culture and kinship, to experimental archival poems dissecting the violence and destruction of the settler-colony. Jeanine Leane's poems are richly palpable in texture, imagery and language, layering the personal with the political, along with a sharp-tongued telling of history. Cleverly divided into three parts, ‘Gathering', ‘Nation' and ‘Returning', Gawimarra weaves back and forth in a dedication to strong matriarchs, and the core acts of gathering and returning – memory, language, history – resonate powerfully throughout. This remarkable book is the result of decades of poetic, political, and cultural work and reflection.

Chair: Catriona Menzies-Pike It was Goethe who declared "call the dog, he is a reviewer". Reviewers are almost universally pilloried as partisan, ill-informed mediocrities fuelled by malice. What leads to this perception and why are they so reviled? We consider the state of Australia's reviewing culture and the impact of backscratching and sycophancy on its present condition. The editor of the Sydney Review of Books, Catriona Menzies-Pike, is joined by Melinda Harvey, Jeanine Leane, Caroline Overington and Beejay Silcox. Event details: Tue 07 Mar, 5:00pm on the West Stage
Chair: Sara Saleh Writing poetry in exile gives new meaning to what John Keats referred to as the poet's “negative capability“ and their power to exist in uncertainties.

Join Mohammed El-Kurd, Julia Cimafiejeva, Jeanine Leane and Hasib Hourani as they reflect on the power of poetry during uncertain times. Event details: Tue 07 Mar, 12:00pm on the North Stage

“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.

Carly speaks with Thursday Breakfast’s own Scheherazade Bloul about Omar Radi, a Moroccan journalist who has recently been jailed on a series of charges including espionage. Omar is an award-winning investigative journalist and human rights activist who frequently publishes articles about land grabs by speculators and the corruption within Moroccan officials.

Jeanine Leane and Timmah Ball at the Wheeler Centre Aunty Kerry Reed-Gilbert was a Wiradjuri poet, elder, editor, educator and a champion of up-and-coming Indigenous writers. Her contribution to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander literary community – and to Australia's rich literary landscape more broadly – is hard to overstate. Aunty Kerry co-founded the First Nations Australian Writers Network (FNAWN) and edited many indispensable books of Indigenous poetry and prose. When Aunty Kerry died in July this year, she'd just completed the manuscript for her memoir, The Cherry Picker's Daughter. In the book, she tells the story of growing up Aboriginal on the fringes of outback towns in New South Wales. It's a story about poverty, racism and persecution and about the bravery and resilience of Aboriginal women, particularly her father's sister, Aunty Joyce Hutchings, who raised her along with her own children. At this very special event, Jeanine Leane and Timmah Ball come together to celebrate Aunty Kerry's life and legacy.Support the Wheeler Centre: https://www.wheelercentre.com/support-us/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
