Bio

I have published two books of poetry and art with the artist, Lindi Forde (https://www.lindiforde.com/). I have degrees from Flinders University, Oxford and RMIT. My profession is in the field of organisational dispute resolution.

Genre

Poetry

Why Do You Write?

I love the way poetry helps me pay attention to the world about me and the memories and experiences of my life. When a poem comes together, creating itself really, I find that one of the most thrilling joys.

Have you been published before?

Yes

If yes, where have you been published?

Convex Press. Self published

What are you currently working on?

I am part of a Writers Victoria online poetry workshop with Andy Jackson. I produce 1-2 poems each month for his critique. Lindi Forde and I are planning a third publication of her art and my poetry.

What are your long term goals?

Further publications. I would love to win a prize, or get an honourable mention! I can see myself writing until I can't.

What is your writing regime?

Monthly expectation of 1-2 poems, helped by being part of the Writers Victoria online poetry workshop. I mostly write in the mornings but carry around with me a notebook and pencil. Writing in noisy crowded coffee cafes is often the best place to get pencil to paper!
