Writing poetry and prose for children and adults.
About me
I am an Australian writer, whose work often explores how we interact with nature and the world around us.
Wrestling with bees, my first poetry collection, is out now through Gazebo Books' Life Before Man imprint.
I live and work on the lands of the Ngunnawal and Ngambri peoples.
