Later this year, I’m going to be living and writing on a hauntingly beautiful and dauntingly remote rock. It’s called Fogo Island. And it’s in Newfoundland. The Shipping News territory. I’m going to be seeing whales (hopefully). And icebergs (fingers crossed). And eating partridgeberries. And perhaps, during my three month artist’s residency, learning a new dance-a Fogo Island kitchen dance. You can catch it on YouTube. Along with the Fogo Island Accordion Group. Fogo Island is an amazing and unique arts initiative, run by the not-for-profit Fogo Island Arts Corporation.  And I’m really chuffed to be the first Australian writer chosen for a residency. http://artscorpfogoisland.ca/.

I’ll be writing in the Squish studio. Squish? Newfoundland for out-of-kilter. This is what it looks like.
