Melbourne Writers Festival at QVWC: Evelyn Araluen and Maxine Beneba Clarke: Girl, Woman, Poem

Two of Australia’s most acclaimed contemporary poets discuss their incisive new collections of poetry, and their shared themes of girlhood, rage and resistance.

In The Rot, Evelyn Araluen offers poems steeped in anger and sorrow, reverberating with lyric intelligence and revelatory beauty. Maxine Beneba Clarke’s beautiful changelings is a rallying cry that lays waste to the myths and fairytales fed to girls and pays tribute to the enigmatic wonder of womanhood.  

Araluen and Clarke come together to discuss the desolation and joy of living through the current moment, and writing poetry that reckons with the most urgent themes of our time. With Maeve Marsden.
