BottomDr Claire Albrecht is a Newcastle-based poet, editor, and curator. She was the 2019 Emerging Writers Festival fellow at the State Library of Victoria, a 2020 Varuna ‘Writing Fire, Writing Drought’ fellow, and the 2021 West Darling Arts Writer in Residence. She will (COVID willing) be a resident at the Helene Wurlitzer Foundation, New Mexico, in 2022. Claire’s debut chapbook pinky swear was published in 2018, and her full-length manuscript handshake was shortlisted for the Puncher & Wattmann First Poetry Book Prize.
Newcastle Writers Festival would like to acknowledge the Awabakal and Worimi peoples, the Traditional Custodians of the land on which the festival takes place, and recognise their continuing connection to land, water and community. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging and extend this respect to all First Nations people attending our festival.
