Great Conversations features interviews with authors and writers, exploring books, writing and literary culture from Australia and the world
Today's episode features part one of Eileen Chong discussing her new collection A Thousand Crimson Blooms
Today on the show...
Eileen Chong is an Australian poet of Chinese descent. She is the author of eight collections of poetry and her work has been listed for more prizes than a half hour show like ours could possibly list but I’ll just mention the likes of the The Victorian Premier’s Literary Awards and the PM’s Literary Award. Her first collection Burning Rice is taught as part of the NSW HSC Syllabus and today we will be talking about her new collection A Thousand Crimson Blooms.
