Hear Walkley Award-winning author Stan Grant delve into the inspiration behind his newest book, Murriyang: Song of Time and join in on an audience Q&A.
Author of the bestseller Talking to My Country and former host of Q+A, Stan is renowned for his insightful political commentary and journalism.
However, in his most recent book, Murriyang: Song of Time, Stan is blurring the lines between the political and the personal, asking us to sit in the space where they overlap.
While Murriyang: Song of Time is, in part, Stan’s response to the Voice Referendum, it is also a meditation on seeing things with a new perspective. In this book, he reflects on the history, literature, theology, music and art that has shaped him.

State Library Victoria acknowledges the traditional lands of all the Victorian Aboriginal clans, and their cultural practices and knowledge systems. We recognise that our collections hold traditional cultural knowledge belonging to Indigenous communities in Victoria and around the country. We support communities to protect the integrity of this information, gathered from their Ancestors in the colonial period. We pay our respects to their Elders, past and present, who have handed down these systems of practice to each new generation for millennia.
