I had the pleasure of talking with David Ades for the WestWords Poet’s Corner podcast.
We chatted on the theme of “Unruly poems (ones that defy convention through structure, language, and themes)” and explored gender acceptance, discrimination, and identity, among many other things. A wonderful chat!
Have a listen here on YouTube.
Last night at the launch of Exactly As I Am, I asked the audience to help me write a new poem Mad Libs style and it was the most hilarious, wonderful, heartfelt time!
The result is this poem about queerness, community and birds, which I’m so proud to be launching today on International Non-Binary People’s Day.
I have a bunch of upcoming events, in-person and online, if you’d like to catch me reading from my new poetry collection Exactly As I Am:

My second poetry collection Exactly As I Am (UQP) has just been published!
Grab a copy online on the UQP website or an ebook version at ebooks.com.
Exactly As I Am is also available at bookstores in-person and online. If they don’t have copies in stock, ask if you can order in!
If you can’t afford a copy and still want to read Exactly As I Am, check out your local library because libraries are great. If they don’t have copies, you can request some. ❤
