The 2023 Stella Prize for Australian women’s writing has been awarded to poet, editor, critic and Professor of Creative Writing at Queensland University of Technology, Sarah Holland-Batt.
The Jaguar traces the declining health of Holland-Batt’s father, who suffered from Parkinson’s disease. The result is a ‘remarkable collection’ that the 2023 Stella Judging Panel said ‘investigates the body as a site of both pleasure and frailty’.
