Welcome!

I’ve been blogging since 2002 and this website contains pretty much everything I’ve written, recorded or messed up in the intervening ten years. I sincerely hope you’ll find something here worth raving about. So, welcome!

Research

My main occupation is as a researcher, with a special emphasis on literature and poetics. My PhD was about poetry publishing; my undergraduate degree was in Australian literature. I’m mostly interested in digital poetics and codez.

Editing

Since 2001, I’ve been the managing editor of Cordite Poetry Review, an online journal of Australian poetry and poetics. I’ve also undertaken a wide range of editing assignments over the years, which I’ll soon be profiling here.

Writing

I’m a writer and poet. This website features many examples of my writing, from chapbooks to sonnets, short stories to unhinged rants, humorous posts to semi-serious musings on the meaning of life, namely: it’s all untold!
