2019 POETRY FELLOW — JEANINE LEANNE

Congratulations to Jeanine Leanne on being awarded the Red Room Poetry Fellowship for 2019. The judges said: '... Jeanine Leane’s poetic project stood out in its incisive clarity and integrity as well as its cultural and political resonance.' 

Jeanine's project is titled: ‘Voicing the Unsettled Space: Rewriting the Colonial Mythscape.’ Jeanne Leanne is a powerful voice and I look forward to the outcomes. You can read more here.

The Red Room fellowship is a fantastic package including a $5000 stipend, a $1000 commission, two weeks at Bundanon Trust, workshops and a public address. The next application opportunity is in December.
