My beloved poem ‘Spirals exist in nature and have always been here’ has been published in Overland!
I loved writing this poem about soft trans-queer resistance, the beauty of T4T love, and the everlasting nature of spirals and gender fuckery. I’m thrilled it’s found a home in Overland. Thank you so much to poetry editor Elena Gomez for choosing this poem to publish.

I’ll be hosting a zine workshop at the 2025 SEQ Queer Writers Festival this year, and also chatting on a poetry panel! My zine workshop will give participants an understanding of zines and zine culture, as well as the tools they need to start working on a small zine on a topic of their choice.

UNDERCURRENT is a bold multimedia project and exhibition celebrating the richness and diversity of LGBTQIA + expression. Bringing together art, fashion, performance, and costume, the project explores the many queer identities can be revealed, celebrated, or even concealed.
Developed through co-designed workshops, participants shared stories, reflected on life in Brisbane, and uncovered common themes that speak to personal journeys and collective experience. The result is a striking collection of individual and collaborative works that invite audiences to witness, reflect, and celebrate the power of queer creativity.
I have a tiny new poem in Strange Daze! So honoured to be in the very first issue of this mag alongside so many brilliant contributors. Huge congrats to Laura Bibby for all the work you’ve put into this beautiful project and into creating space for writers.
Read the first issue of Strange Daze.
My new poem ‘Is this devotion?’ has just been published in Island Magazine online!
It’s about the blooming obsession of new queer love, the soft touch of petal fingertips, the all-consuming refrain of spring.
