Michelle Kelly

Sydney Review of Books Residency Award. Michelle will consult, explore and savour the Frontyard Library as I write the essay 'Library in Bloom: A Garden Path in Books'. As I described in my application, I propose to read and then write the story of the library - including its newest manifestation in and through Frontyard. I will forge a reading trail with its holdings, writing an itinerary that is intuitive, agile, self-reflective, respectful, future-focused, sometimes subversive, and always community-oriented.
