MORE ABOUT THE FEATURE:
Hi All, here is a bit of a bio Nandi Chinna works as a research consultant, educator, and poet. She is based on unceded Aboriginal land in Boorloo (Perth) and Bunuba lands in Fitzroy Crossing, WA. Her poetry has its genesis in a strong determination to craft creative works and poetry as a response to the ecologies and layers of history attached to particular places. Nandi is the author of four poetry collections. The Future Keepers (Fremantle Press) was shortlisted for the Prime Ministers Literary Award in 2020 and was highly commended in the Victorian Premiers Prize 2019. Nandi was awarded the 2021 Western Australian Premiers Writing Fellowship. Her most recent collection, a collaboration with Niykina Elder Professor Anne Poelina, Tossed up by the beak of a Cormorant, poems of the Martuwarra River was published by Fremantle Press in 2024.Open mic?
