Listen "BLOOMER with Carol Lefevre"
Episode Synopsis
What is it about stories that shape us, move us, and help make sense of the world? Today’s guest, Carol Lefevre, is a master of the craft. With eight books to her name, along with award-nominated novellas, essays, and journalism, Carol’s work has been recognised for its depth, beauty, and insight. Her novella Murmurations was shortlisted for both the Christina Stead Prize for Fiction and the South Australian Festival Awards for Literature, highlighting her as one of Australia’s most compelling literary voices.With a PhD in Creative Writing and a role as a Visiting Research Fellow at the University of Adelaide, Carol has spent her career exploring the art and power of storytelling. But beyond academia and awards, she’s a keen observer of life—finding inspiration in everything from the quiet rhythms of her garden to the complexities of human nature. Carol’s latest book is a wonderful coming-of-old-age memoir, Bloomer, where she provides a unique perspective of older life from an older voice. In this episode, we unpack the writing life, the stories behind her stories, and what it truly means to create something that lasts. I hope you enjoy meeting Carol.For more information about Carol, check out these places;-Find her new book here: BloomerWebsite: Carol LefevreInstagram: Carol LefevreHead to michellejcox.com for more information about the ONE QUESTION podcast, your host or today’s guestsConnect with Michelle on Linkedin here:- @MichelleJCoxConnect with Michelle on Instagram here:- @michellejcoxConnect with Michelle on Facebook here - @michellejcoxAND, if you have a burning topic you’d love people to talk more about, or know someone who’d be great to come on the One Question podcast, please get in touch;-
