Poetry Poetics Reading
Reading with Earth is coming out in paperback in March 2024. This book was the winner of the inaugural ANZATS book prize for an established scholar.
The paperback can be ordered here.
Below is a video I made about the book, for a panel on the book series Explorations in Theology, Gender and Ecology at the American Academy of Religion Annual Meeting November 2023. My thanks to Arnfríður Guðmundsdóttir and Hilda P. Koster, series editors, for organising the panel.
I am delighted and honoured to be joining Dr Kerrie Handasyde for a double launch featuring Professor Katharine Massam launching Kerrie’s God in the Landscape: Studies in the Literary History of Australian Protestant Dissent and Professor Vicky Balabanski launching my recently published Reading with Earth: Contributions of the New Materialism to an Ecological Feminist Hermeneutics.

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 pay my respects to the elders past, present and future and recognise their continuing relation to and care for Country. I acknowledge that their sovereignty over these lands and waters has never been ceded.
‘sun glint drift’ was the title of a poem published in the Red Room Writing Water project. It is also the title I give this blog about my poetry and research.
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 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.
