…to all Prime Minister’s Literary Awards shortlisted people and their books, but ‘specially to Lorraine Marwood (Star Jumps), Jen Storer (Tensy Farlow) and Kate Constable (Cicada Summer).
Very cool.

A whistle-stop train and tram trip to Melbourne yesterday included @little_bookroom and @dymocks234 before turning for home. And yes, that is a massive hole in a bathroom floor. @luciart74 @walkerbooksaus

Yes, congratulations to all – but especially to Lorraine Marwood – a friend to many who wrote Star Jumps while in my own home town of Adelaide during a May Gibbs Fellowship. I was privileged to also launch the book. So proud of you, Lorraine. And the shortlisting's a great boost to poetry and verse novels in particular. Janeen
Thanks Claire and Janeen- yes a real boost to poetry and also for rural content- both matters close to my heart. Lorraine
