Welcome

I’m a neurodivergent bi-gender person who wears many hats: writer, artist, academic, teacher, wife, and mother of cats. I am also a lecturer in creative writing at Federation University, Gippsland, Victoria, and the author of two liminal autobiographies, Nobody and Mothsong (Rare Bird Books, USA). Nobody was shortlisted for The Australian/Vogel’s Literary Award in 2008 and awarded a Varuna Fellowship in 2009. In 2012 I was emerging writer in residence at the KSP Writers’ Centre. My work has been published in international journals including, CorditeStill Point Arts QuarterlyLiNQDouble Dialogues, and TEXT.

I acknowledge the Gunaikurnai People as the Traditional Owners of the land on which I live and pay respect to Elders past, present, and future – for they hold the memories, traditions, culture, and hopes of their community. I recognise their continuing connection to the land, water, air and sky, acknowledging that sovereignty was never ceded.
