John Morrissey

John Morrissey is a Melbourne writer of Kalkadoon descent. Bird Deity is his first novel.  

John Morrissey is appearing in the following events:

Burial Grounds: Indigenous Perspectives on Horror

Horror is hardly a genre that needs much introduction – graveyards, monsters, things that go bump in the night. But what is at the heart of horror and stories of the uncanny for Indigenous Peoples, when colonisation is as horrific as humanity gets? What does a history unburied look like in the light?
Sat 9 May 2:30pm @ The Wheeler Centre

Sintering: An Evening of Indigenous Brilliance

From poetry, to fiction, to nonfiction, to everything outside of and in-between, this event is a celebration of the encompassing, expansive, and uncontained way we know Indigenous brilliance, globally and locally, to exist.

Sat 9 May 6:30pm @ The Wheeler Centre
