GREETINGS!
An Australian poet, my writing is concerned with kindness and whimsy. Despite my best efforts, birds frequently fly into my poems. A Varuna alumnus, I divide my time between living in Melbourne/Naarm, 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 (2026), Robert Gray Prize for Poetry (2025), the Rising Poet Prize (2024) and others. My poems have been published in journals including Cordite, Rabbit, and Red Door.WHAT PEOPLE SAY
