An intimate evening of creative conversation and big ideas: Stella Prize listed poet Evelyn Araluen in conversation with Charlotte Guest
About this Event

Stella, in partnership with Geelong Regional Libraries, is proud to announce a FREE one-day literary event, featuring 2022 Stella Prize winner and 2026 Stella Prize shortlisted poet Evelyn Araluen in conversation with writer and bookseller Charlotte Guest.
Evelyn was recently awarded both the 2026 Victorian Premier’s Literary Award and the VPLA for Indigenous Writing for her second poetry collection The Rot, and Charlotte was awarded the VPLA for her unpublished manuscript Kookaburra. This event is a very special chance for local readers and writers to hear from two significant voices in new Australian writing at different stages in their creative careers, in conversation with one another.

This will be an intimate evening of creative conversation and big ideas, celebrating some of the best new Australian writing by women, hosted at the beautiful Geelong Library Events Space.


In this session, Evelyn and Charlotte will talk craft, process, and what it means to be an ‘emerging writer’. How do you know if you’ve ‘emerged’? What does a writing life look like? This is a conversation for writers and readers alike and is one not to be missed.

Session includes:

· Author in conversation with local moderator, and readings from the book

· Open forums for audiences to ask questions and engage in discussion

· Book signings - books will be available for purchase before and at the event, courtesy of the Book Bird Geelong


For accessibility information, and if you need assistance in order to participate in this event, please contact [email protected] at least two weeks prior to the event date.

Beverages and light refreshments provided.
