Each month we’ll chat with one of our contributing authors about the ideas behind their pieces, their writing practice and listen in as they spoil us with readings of their featured work. To launch our podcast series we talk with writer, poet and performer Maxine Beneba Clarke about everything from winning the 2013 Victorian Premier’s Literary Award for an Unpublished Manuscript to juggling the demands of a three-book deal while raising small children.
