The Blue Plateau, his landscape memoir, shortlisted for the Prime Minister’s Prize.Dr Tredinnick’s poetry and prose are translated into many languages (German, French, Italian, and Spanish). In recent years his work has become widely known in China. In April 2019, he spent a month in residence at the Lu Xun Academy in Beijing, a guest of the International Writers Program. A selection of one hundred of his poems appears in Chinese in 2021, along with a book of his essays. Mark Tredinnick’s latest book is A Gathered Distance: Poems (Birdfish, 2020), and his next collection, Walking Underwater, appears in July 2020 with Pitt Street. Another collection, A Beginner’s Guide (Recent Works), and a new and selected poems (Milkweed) appear in early 2021.
Since 2003, Tredinnick has published over two hundred works—poems, essays, reviews, papers, and books. For twenty-five years, he’s taught poetry and expressive writing at the University of Sydney, where he was poet in residence in 2018. He is a beloved teacher (of writing, literature and ecology), and he’s mentored many writers into print. His many honours include two of the world’s foremost poetry prizes, the Montreal and the Cardiff. “His is a bold, big-thinking poetry,” Sir Andrew Motion has written, “in which ancient themes (especially the theme of our human relationship with landscape) are recast and rekindled.” “One of our great poets of place,” Judy Beveridge has called him. Much of Tredinnick’s work—in poetry, prose, advocacy, and teaching—has explored the syntax of places and the ecologies of speech. “Our future and our place in it,” he has written, “may depend on how well we care for the health of both—land and language.” The moral and spiritual landscapes, the geography of what was once called the soul: this also is Tredinnick’s literary terrain.Tredinnick is the father of five. He writes and lives with his partner Jodie Williams in the Wingecarribee, southwest of Sydney. \n
