My books
I’ve published two full-length poetry collections and one pamphlet via independent poetry publishers, with a third collection forthcoming in 2026.
We Will Disappear (2007)
My first poetry collection navigates the landscapes of loneliness and solitude, drawing on ten years of transformative travelogues and engaging elegies.
Morgenland (2007)
This limited edition chapbook features poems written in the Republic of Korea and Japan during an Asialink residency supported by the University of Melbourne.
Leaves of Glass (2013)
Based on correspondence between Walt Whitman and Bernard O’Dowd, my second full-length poetry collection features reimaginings of both poets’ work.

What do you call writing that’s neither fact nor fiction, and over in a flash? Flash faction, of course!
