writing + audio + Community Arts

Hi there :) I’m a writer and arts worker based in Nipaluna/Hobart.

My practice spans fiction, poetry, picture books, audio making and community arts.

I’m most interested in projects that encourage experimentation, elevate new voices and challenge the established rules of storytelling.

Over the last decade, I’ve worked with writers and artists in all kinds of places - prisons, playgrounds, museums, libraries and remote Aboriginal communities - and in all these places I’ve seen the ways stories can connect and expand us.

I’ve also written some of my own stories along the way.

LATEST PROJECT

Set in a time of mass extinction, Department of the Vanishing blends documentary poetry, archival image, and narrative verse to explore the vital questions: Can we live in a world without birdsong, and is it possible to create a new opus with the fragments left over?

‘A sexy, compelling and beautifully crafted elegy not only to birds but to feeling itself. The denouement is spectacular; I cheered and wept.’ — ANGELA O’KEEFFE

‘Simultaneously fragile and furious, intimate and immense, Department of the Vanishing is a remarkable achievement.’ — JAMES BRADLEY

COMING OUT IN MARCH 2026
