Hi Melinda,
I saw you mentioned in the same sentence as Richard Flanagan, and realised you were the Melinda Smith I knew (and famous at that!). Congratulations on this award, and all your success. Your poems are beautiful, accessible and made me laugh. You reference in your video to listening to drunk people talk, I could definitely relate to. I may have heard them too. I have 4 boys, and your ability to speak through your sons is amazing. Keep it up.
Hi Melinda – sincere congratulations on another well-deserved success. My very best, GMP
