    Biography

    Filipino-Australian writer Merlinda Bobis has published in three languages (English, Pilipino, Bikol) across multiple genres. Her novels, short story and poetry books, and plays have received various awards, including the Prix Italia, the Steele Rudd Award for the Best Published Collection of Australian Short Stories, the Philippine National Book Award, and the Australian Writers’ Guild Award.
    Bobis has been short-listed for The Age Poetry Book Award and the Australian Literature Society Gold Medal. She has performed her dramatic works in Australia, Philippines, US, Canada, Spain, France, and China. Her latest novel is Fish-Hair Woman. She teaches Creative Writing at the University of Wollongong.

    In her own words: ‘Writing visits like grace. Its greatest gift is the comfort if not the joy of transformation. In an inspired moment, we almost believe that anguish can be made bearable and injustice can be overturned, because they can be named. And if we’re lucky, joy can even be multiplied a hundredfold, so we may have reserves in the cupboard for the lean times.’
