Events

In 2026, I will release a short poetry collection that explores the science of climate change through experimental writing that leads the way out of fire and into the Symbiocene. The poems move between concerns over the impacts of contemporary commercial cooking to iNaturalist field recordings during the extinction crisis, attending to restrained lyric intensity, concrete forms and the ways we can find hope in times of despair.

Join me as we launch my new publication with 5 Islands Press, and other publications, including our recent anthology with Westwords.

My short poetry collection will be released in May 2026 and will be supported through readings, festivals, and library events.

How To Read A City, Your Place of Last Resort will be available through selected independent bookstores and directly from the publisher.

Signed copies will also be available at readings and events. For bookstore or library enquiries, please use the page contact.
