Lady Cutler Address
On the 13th of November I gave
the Lady Cutler annual address at the presentation night for the Lady Cutler
Award, which went to academic Robyn Ewing. I had been asked to outline my year
as a National Reading Ambassador, which I was more than happy to do as it was
such a satisfying and exciting year. But after reflecting on the gift of
reading, which this year celebrates, as part of this talk I was inspired to
convey my thoughts on ‘deep reading’ in this address which I entitled To Read Perchance to Dream…
The Children’s Book Council of Australia –
NSW have requested the talk for publication and I’m more than happy for this to
happen. I enjoyed the task of preparing a talk that reflected my National Year
of Reading as Ambassador which brought together my passion and mission for
poetry and writing for the young.
