The University of Otago in New Zealand has announced the recipients of its 2015 fellowships for literature and children’s writing. The Robert Burns Fellowship has been awarded to Wellington-based poet Louise Wallace. Wallace said she ‘plans to research conversation in poetry, and create her third collection of poetry based on this’. The six-month Creative New Zealand children’s writer residency has been awarded to children’s writers Jennifer Beck from Auckland and Robyn Belton from Dunedin, who will collaborate on a picture book set in WW1. The fellowships are awarded to artists who are getting established in their chosen fields.
