Best of Australian Poems 2023 kindly included my poem ‘For Exodus‘, which was shortlisted in the 2023 Gwen Harwood Poetry Prize and subsequently published in Island.

The Suburban Review commissioned HOUSING SIMULATOR 2023, a piece of digital lit the editors described as: ‘a hilarious interactive work with a keen sense of tragedy.’ (Thanks, eds!) It has just popped out into the world at the start of 2024:

HOUSING SIM 2023 built on work begun with the support of The Lord Mayor’s Young and Emerging Artists Fellowships, an initiative of Brisbane City Council, which also enabled me to spend a week in Katoomba writing/reading/walking (down and, worse, UP some Very Giant Stairs), and — most wonderfully — to engage Felicity Plunkett’s expert editing (and mentoring) eyes on some new work. ♡

The embargo has now lifted on my 2019 Master’s thesis: “According to our bond”: The poetics of share-house place attachment in Brisbane. Sarah Holland-Batt and Rohan Wilson supervised this MPhil by Creative Work, which resulted in my Cordite poetry collection, After the Demolition.
