- In late February 2026, Evelyn Araluen was reported as winning Victoria’s Premier’s Literary Award for her poetry collection The Rot, described by judges as a work of remarkable poetic intelligence and awarded the Victorian Prize for Literature (audience prize and Indigenous writing prize components noted in coverage).[2][3]
- Coverage around the same time highlighted Araluen as a prominent Goorie/Koori poet with a strong track record in Indigenous writing, criticism, and poetry, including the Nakata Brophy Prize for Young Indigenous Writers and a Wheeler Centre Next Chapter Fellowship; her debut collection Dropbear had already brought notable acclaim.[3][4][9]
