I’m a poet working on Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung and Boonwurrung Country. My work offers a surreal and visceral lens to the body through writing about motherhood, girlhood and mental health. I am the winner of the 2024 Woorilla Prize, the 2024 Ada Cambridge Prize for Poetry and my poem, Notes from Greenland was shortlisted for the Woollahra Digital Literary Award (2024). I have three collections of poetry, Bone (Halas Press, 2021), Gentle Creatures (Vagabond Press, 2023) and Invisible Wasp (Liquid Amber Press, 2024).
In 2024 I performed at the Emerging Writers Festival in Naarm / Melbourne in an event called Body Curious. In 2023, I performed with a cohort of other poets at the NT Writers Festival in Mparntwe / Alice Springs. I have also performed a one-hour show at Words in Winter on Dja Dja Wurrung country (Hepburn Springs).
My poem Touch free wash was most recently included in Best of Australian Poems 2024, edited by Shastra Deo and Kate Lilley.
