Hilary Harper is a massive book and radio nerd – she's spent 30 years on air, 20 at the ABC, and as far as she knows, is the only person to do a traffic report in haiku. She presented Life Matters for six years, and is now hosting weekdays on ABC Radio National, as well as writing, reviewing and interviewing about books. She's also writing a book of love stories. Her goal is one day to own enough bookshelves, and a wheelie ladder to reach them.
