Do you have a go to lipstick colour?

When my subscription journals arrive, I first read all the poetry then work my way through the other texts.

I was blown away by the poetry in the latest @islandmagtas, in particular 'Your Shade' by @douganlucy. The level of intimacy with what might be considered a superficial vanity ( a cosmetic) is profound. I am very much looking forward to her new collection, Monster Field with @giramondopublishing in November.

The Dorothy Hewett Award, 2022.

Thrilled to be shortlisted for The Dorothy Hewett Award, 2022 for my unpublished manuscript. Here's what the judges had to say about my debut manuscript.

How to Order Eggs Sunny Side Up

Searing poetry of feminine experience, How to Order Eggs Sunny Side Up is unashamedly visceral and lights up with flashes of literary incandescence. Formally inventive, bleakly comic, slyly erotic – these are poems which bristle with edges and glint like cut gems. Each poem arrives like a dare, refusing euphemism or domestication.
