Black-and-white artwork of a dense greenhouse filled with leafy plants. Overlaid on the scene is a geometric framework of translucent rectangular shapes, creating a layered, architectural effect that contrasts with the foliage.

Ekphrastic poem in Antipodes!

I have a new poem in Antipodes: A Global Journal of Australian/New Zealand Literature | Vol 36 | Iss 2.

‘A robot discovers an overgrown garden, year 2121’ is an ekphrastic poem I wrote after Jane Grealy’s Maria’s Garden, Scheme B (2021); pastel, conte and charcoal on paper; Museum of Brisbane Collection.

Thank you to poetry editor Nathanael OʻReilly and the team at Antipodes. And to my Ekphrastic Writing Club at Museum of Brisbane.
