Abbra Kotlarczyk

Abbra Kotlarczyk was raised on Bundjalung Country in the subtropical ruins of a decommissioned banana plantation. She makes art, curates, reads, writes, edits, parents and gardens—sometimes all at once—in an attempt to outmanoeuvre the forces that pit us against enmeshment. She is drawn to the fact that Sharon Olds and Ariana Reines create poems out of the ancient Aramaic/Hebrew spell abracadabra/abhadda ked-habra. Like Jackie Wang, she is also a library rat. Unlike Jackie Wang, she is not an assistant (or any other kind of) professor. A poem of hers won the 2022 Overland Judith Wright Poetry Prize. She lives on Wurundjeri Woiwurrung Country in Naarm/Melbourne.
