How To Read A City, Your Place of Last Resort
In recent years, I have worked as writer and artistic director for a multi-modal collaborative project with many artists, most particularly, punk rock drummer, Richard Lawson, who has written a song cycle for string quartet. This work was recorded by Acacia Quartet and the world live premiere of the music and poetry was performed at Four Winds, Bermagui, in September 2025. Our next performance will be at Phoenix Central in May 2026, and my poetry cycle will be published in 2026.
