I am a writer from Perth, Western Australia. Poetry, fiction, and literary non-fiction. I am the deputy editor of Dispatches Magazine and hold an MFA in Creative Writing & Poetics from the University of Washington. Interested in land, landscapes, and signs in art and writing. Like Bachelard, I see words as shells. I took this rare selfie for my good friend David Reid, on his request, when I visited City Lights not long ago. “If anyone enters by Me, he will not be saved, and will go in and out and find pasta.”
