to an Australian writer whose work best reflects the high standards and distinguished literary accomplishments that Philip Hodgins consistently advocated and exemplified in his poetry. The recipient is presented with a uniquely crafted medal and a cheque for $5000. Helen Garner was the 2019 recipient of the Philip Hodgins Memorial Medal. She has written novels, stories, screenplays and works of non-fiction. In 2006 she received the inaugural Melbourne Prize for Literature, and in 2016 she won the prestigious Windham-Campbell Prize for non-fiction and the Western Australian Premier’s Book Award. In 2019 she was honoured with the Australia Council Award for Lifetime Achievement in Literature. Her books include Monkey Grip, The Children’s Bach, The Spare Room, The First Stone, Joe Cinque’s Consolation, This House of Grief and Everywhere I Look. |
