25.01.2022 We are delighted to support The Saltbush Review, an exciting literary project initiated by two of our PhD students, Lyn Dickens and Gemma Parker. For the inaugural issue of this digital journal, they are seeking submissions of short fiction, creative nonfiction, and memoir of up to 2,500 words on the theme of Water. Send them your best work by 15 June 2021!

21.01.2022 Our Director, Associate Professor Anna Goldsworthy, recently co-edited "Beyond the Stage" (Wakefield Press) with JMCCCP member Professor Mark Carroll. This illustrated collection examines the impact of WWI and its aftermath on creativity and performance in South Australia. A must-have if you are interested in the nature of memory and commemoration. https://www.wakefieldpress.com.au/product.php

18.01.2022 We are delighted to see Raining Poetry in Adelaide return in 2021! This street poetry festival is led by a team of postgraduate students from The University of Adelaide and has been happening under the auspices of the J.M. Coetzee Centre for Creative Practice for five years now. Do send them your submission by 9 April!

12.01.2022 On 26 February, we held a socially distanced Farewell & Welcome morning tea to thank Professor Rutherford for her outstanding contribution and welcome Associate Professor Goldsworthy into her new role. We were lucky to have our patron, JM Coetzee, join us on the day to celebrate Professor Rutherford’s legacy and discover Associate Professor Goldsworthy’s vision.

05.01.2022 After a prolonged COVID-induced hiatus, we are absolutely delighted to let you know that the JMCCCP is coming out of hibernation. We have an exciting year ahead of us and look forward to sharing our 2021 programme with you soon. Despite our eagerness, though, the reactivation of the JMCCCP comes with some mixed feelings: we are saddened to lose our esteemed director, Professor Jennifer Rutherford, who retired in January 2021. Over the last six years, Professor Rutherford’s v...ision and enthusiasm shaped and drove the JMCCCP. Her inspiring leadership will be sorely missed, as will her fierce advocacy for her students and staff and her amazing storytelling skills. We wish her all the best in her future endeavours. Associate Professor Anna Goldsworthy, an award-winning concert pianist and acclaimed author, is the new director of the JMCCCP. Her creative and critical work epitomises the dialogues between art forms at the very heart of the JMCCCP’s vision. From 2011 to 2021, Associate Professor Goldsworthy served as a JMCCCP management committee member and we look very much forward to seeing the JMCCCP continue to thrive and grow under her impulse as she brings to her new role the same creativity and energy that she displayed as a committee member over the last ten years.

01.01.2022 Congratulations to two of our members, who have just been shortlisted for the NSW Premier's Literary Awards! Jill Jones is shortlisted for the Kenneth Slessor Prize for Poetry (A History of What I'll Become, UWA Publishing 2020) and Carol Lefevre is shortlisted for the Christina Stead Prize for Fiction (Murmurations, Spinifex Press 2020).
