Of Irish, Scottish and English settler descent, I live and work on Bunurong Country (alternatively spelt Boon Wurrung or Boonwurrung Country) in what is also known as Seaford, Victoria. I acknowledge the land, the waters and the skies. I pay my respects to elders past and present and recognise their continuing relation to and care for Country. I acknowledge that Boonwurrung sovereignty over these lands and waters has never been ceded.
I am a poet, editor and researcher with interests in ecological poetics, ecological feminist hermeneutics, ecological criticism, the material turn, counter-colonial and decolonising ecological ethics, creative research practices, poetry and biblical literature.
My poetry publications include, Intents (Liquid Amber Press 2025), Leaf (Liquid Amber Press 2022), shortlisted for the 2023 ASLE-UKI Book Prize for the best work of creative writing with an ecological theme, Obligations of Voice (Recent Work Press 2021), On arrivals of breath (Poetica Christi 2019), White on White (Cordite Books 2018), and Kin (FIP 2014), shortlisted in the New South Wales Premier’s Literary Awards 2015.
In research, Reading with Earth from Bloomsbury T&T Clark appeared in 2022 and was awarded the 2023 ANZATS Book Prize for an Established Scholar.
In 2017-2018 I edited hope for whole: poets speak up to Adani.
My other recent scholarly book is Reading the Magnificat in Australia: Unsettling Engagements (Sheffield Phoenix 2020).
I was inaugural managing editor of Plumwood Mountain: An Australian and International Journal of Ecopoetry and Ecopoetics from 2013 to 2020.
