Award-winning author Nardi Simpson reflects on motherhood, belonging and connection to Country in The Belburd, her lyrical novel weaving the everyday with the metaphysical. In conversation with Kate Mildenhall. 
Following the success of her debut novel, Song of the Crocodile, Simpson returns with a lyrical, evocative story of a young Blak woman navigating life in contemporary Sydney. Interwoven with the story of a birth spirit known as Sprite, The Belburd deftly treads the line between the everyday and the metaphysical, offering a profound exploration of the mystery of being.      
 
Join Simpson as she discusses place, cultural storytelling, identity and belonging, with host Kate Mildenhall.
