File agus scríbhneoir prós ón Astráil is ea Joanne Burns (r. 5 Nollaig 1945) agus an-bhéim aici ar thaibhiú ina saothar.
Tá Burns ina cónaí in Sydney.[1] Rinne sí staidéar in Ollscoil Sydney agus tá Béarla agus scríbhneoireacht chruthaitheach múinte aici san Astráil agus i Sasana. Tá blas filíochta agus próis araon ar a saothar agus is minic a bhaineann sí feidhm as ábhar fánach ó nuachtáin agus ó ghnáthfhoinsí eile. Sna 1980idí bhí sí páirteach sa Sydney Women Writers' Workshop, grúpa trialach.[2] Tá deich gcnuasach foilsithe aici, agus fuair Footnotes of a Hammock Duais Judith Wright 2005 i bpáirt le cnuasach eile.[3]
