Mark Tredinnick is the author of eighteen books, including A Gathered Distance, Almost Everything I Know, Bluewren Cantos, Fire Diary, The Blue Plateau, and The Little Red Writing Book. He is a celebrated Australian poet, essayist, and teacher of writing. “One of our great poets of place,” Judy Beveridge calls him. In 2020, Mark was awarded the Order of Australia Medal for services to literature and education. Other honours include the Cardiff Poetry Prize, the Blake and Newcastle Poetry Prizes, the ACU and Ron Pretty Poetry Prizes, two Premiers’ Literature Awards, and the Calibre Essay Prize. The Blue Plateau, his landscape memoir, was shortlisted for the Prime Minister’s Prize.

Mark’s reading of his work will be an occasion to mark the migration of the Montreal International Poetry Prize to its new home in the Department of English at McGill University.
