QPF 2018 wrap-up

Queensland Poetry Festival was a magical experience! Huge thanks to everyone who bought my book or a zine or said hi. It was great to meet so many poets and creative folk over the weekend.

If you missed out on a copy of Milk Teeth, it will be on sale from 3 September. You can preorder it now on Booktopia or grab a copy at your local bookstore next week.

I’ll also have a limited number of books for sale at Breaking Down the Highway – QUT/Griffith Reading Event, which I have the pleasure of reading at on Wednesday 29 August, 2018 – 7-10pm @ Sabotage Social, Fortitude Valley.

I met a lot of people who loved the non-binary 101 zine that was handed out at the Milk Teeth QPF launch, but wanted to see it as a resource they could refer to later. So here it is as a PDF!

If I have the time, I’d love to develop it into a non-binary 101 zine that’s not as me-focused or QPF-specific. We’ll see! 🙂
