GREETINGS!

An Australian poet, my writing is concerned with kindness and whimsy.  Despite my best efforts, birds frequently fly into my poems.  A poet of the stage as well as the page, in 2023 one of my poetry performances was part of the International Human Rights Art Festival in New York and in 2024 I received a Red Room Poetry Fellowship.  A Varuna alumnus, I divide my time between living in Melbourne, Australia, and living in my head, where I have a library with one of those sliding ladders, Haast's eagle as a pet, and work-life balance.

RECOGNITION

I have been privileged to been shortlisted for the Newcastle Poetry Prize (2025), Robert Gray Prize for Poetry (2025) and Calanthe Collective Prize (2025), honourably mentioned in the Princemere Poetry Prize (2024), and named as a finalist in the Rising Poet Prize (2024), amongst others.
