Robbie Arnott in conversation with Astrid Edwards.

Robbie Arnott’s fiction is steeped in the wild: women return from the dead as walking ecosystems; mythic birds circle the skies; the water calls to us. In writing these sumptuous, near-sentient landscapes, he grapples with our most wrenching and necessary questions: eco-grief, stolen land and human frailty.

Join Robbie Arnott for this intimate discussion about his abiding love for the natural world and how he brings it to life on the page.
