澳大利亚作家尤姆纳·卡萨布（Yumna Kassab）被选为帕拉马塔首届文学桂冠诗人后，出版了创意作品《帕拉马塔：地方与记忆词典》[1]。这部由Giramondo出版社出版、定价34.95澳元的作品采用A-Z词典形式，通过作者的情感、行为和联想来探索帕拉马塔城市景观的多层含义[1]。
该词典涵盖了莎士比亚人物、体育运动员、咖啡馆等多样化主题，融合了亲密反思、尖锐批评和大胆观点[1]。卡萨布曾著有六部虚构作品，并获得多项澳洲权威文学奖的提名[1]。
Australian writer Yumna Kassab has released Parramatta: A Dictionary of Place and Memory following her appointment as Parramatta's inaugural literary laureate [1]. The work, published by Giramondo and priced at $34.95, takes the unconventional form of an alphabetical dictionary that explores the multilayered meanings of the Parramatta cityscape [1].
Rather than conventional definitions, Kassab's entries draw connections between the urban landscape and an eclectic range of subjects—from Shakespearean characters to sports athletes to local cafes—weaving together intimate reflection, sharp critique, and bold perspectives [1]. The creative project transforms the dictionary format into a vehicle for examining place and memory through the author's emotional associations and personal interpretations [1]. Kassab has previously published six works of fiction and received nominations for multiple prestigious Australian literary awards [1].
