Melbourne Writers Festival: In Conversation with Nardi Simpson

The Vision Australia Library are thrilled to announce their continued sponsorship of the Melbourne Writers Festival in 2025.  We are privileged to welcome award-winning author Nardi Simpson, to discuss her newly released novel The Belburd – a story of motherhood, creation, belonging and connection to Country. 

Following the success of her debut novel, Song of the Crocodile, Nardi Simpson returns with a lyrical, evocative story of a young Blak woman navigating life in contemporary Sydney. Interwoven with the story of a birth spirit known as Sprite, The Belburd deftly treads the line between the everyday and the metaphysical, offering a profound exploration of the mystery of being.

Nardi will be In Conversation with Daniel James, a Yorta Yorta Melbourne based writer and broadcaster.  We encourage our guests to arrive from 7.30pm, to ensure you are comfortably seated for a prompt 8pm start.
