Between The Lines: Laurie Steed On Vulnerability, Short Stories And The Most Isolated City In The World (Chapter 10)
Writer, father and long-time friend of RTRFM Laurie Steed is no stranger to vulnerability and his latest collection of short stories published with UWA Publishing is no different.
Greater City Shadows is a culmination of everything Laurie does best; a love letter to connection, relationships and Boorloo/Perth, spanning the people, places and moments that define the city.
Though based in the most isolated city in the world his work has been broadcast on BBC Radio 4 and published in Best Australian Stories, The Age and Meanjin…just to name a few.
He has a PhD in creative writing from The University of Western Australia and currently works for Writing WA as an editor, writer and workshop facilitator.
In this episode Laurie chats about creating during the pandemic, being the father of two young boys and how he has made friends with risk.
