Author Series: Nardi Simpson – The Belburd

Ginny Dilboong is a young poet, fierce and deadly. She's making sense of the world and her place in it, grappling with love, family and the spaces in which to create her art. Determined and brave, Ginny seeks to protect the truth of others while trying to understand her own. The question is how?

And, all the while, others are watching. Some old, some new. They’re the sound of the belburd as it echoes through the world. They’re the sound of cars and trucks and trains. They’re in trees and paper and the shape of ideas. They’re the builder and the built. Everything, even Ginny, is because of them.

The Belburd is a powerful story that shows us we’re all connected, from before we began to long after we begin again.

'Simpson's writing attains a rare quality of grace, the prose lyrical and grounded at the same time... skilfully weaving the profound into the everyday.'
