Of English, Irish and Scottish settler descent, I live and work on Boonwurrung Country (alternatively spelt Boon Wurrung or Bunurong 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, 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 poetry, Leaf from Liquid Amber Press will be published and launched in September 2022.
In research, Reading with Earth from Bloomsbury T&T Clark will be also be published in September 2022.
In 2017-2018 I edited hope for whole: poets speak up to Adani.
My most recent scholarly book is Reading the Magnificat in Australia: Unsettling Engagements (Sheffield Phoenix 2020).
I was inaugural managing editor of Plumwood Mountain: An Australian Journal of Ecopoetry and Ecopoetics from 2013 to 2020.
