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.

About Meanjin 84.1 Autumn 2025
Energy and life and the body. Disappointment and passion and pride. The inexorable labour of working toward the just. The work of desire, the work of identity, the work of standing still. The work of giving life, the work of telling truth, the work of making a home.
This season, Meanjin’s writers are calling us to account.
What are we gambling with when we settle for what’s merely adequate? What have we already sacrificed the moment we come to realise what’s at stake? What is the price of the just?
Embrace Australia’s finest writers. Meanjin 84.1 Autumn 2025.

Curated by Netherworld denizens Tim Sifontes-Holzberger and Mitch Wilkins, the third-issue’s theme is ‘Expo 2088.’

I’m so thrilled to have a new ekphrastic poem in Cordite’s ‘Space’ issue, with thanks to guest editor Alicia Sometimes.
‘focused, unfurling’ is after Jane du Rand’s Thriving: Brisbane Bush Turkeys, and was written during a session of Ekphrastic Writing Club at Museum of Brisbane in 2023.
Join me for a celebration of All the Colours of the Rainbow Wednesday 12th February 6pm at Where the Wild Things Are. I’ll be in-conversation with the wonderful Sophie Beer, award-winning illustrator and children’s author.
