Hello!

I'm an Australian writer living between London and the Isle of Skye. I've spent over a decade working in the arts, for organisations including Sydney Theatre Company, the Royal Society of Literature and the Donmar Warehouse.

In 2008-9, a memoir of my recovery from anorexia and depression (Biting Anorexia) was published in Australia, New Zealand, the US and Canada. I’ve also edited Australia's oldest literary journal Hermes, the 68th issue of Magma Poetry magazine and contribute regularly to Lodestars Anthology. I’m currently working on my second book.

I’ve been twice shortlisted for The Bridport Prize in the UK and my poems have been published and performed in Australia and England.

I like to read and think about: other people’s lives; etymology; deep time; why poems are the way they are; what you are reading and how you feel about it. I also like to take photos, think slowly, watch tiny insects and clouds, visit bookshops and churchyards, squeeze good friends and itemise the smells in the air at any one time (currently: damp wood, pine nuts, milky coffee, warm cotton cushions; it is raining and I am in a café in Edinburgh).
