My work has appeared in many magazines, anthologies and journals,
both print and online in Australia and the UK.
I have written two plays which have toured around Victoria,
Australia, and associate produced a documentary Pluck Me, for
ScreenEast in 2002.
I have made several TV appearances both in Australia and the UK,
including being commissioned by About Anglia to write and perform
a poem.
I have supported John Cooper Clarke and Benjamin Zephaniah, read
at various literary festivals including Glastonbury Festival and
on national radio.
I have received many grants including two Arts’ Council Year of
the Artist Grants in 2000.
For the past 16 years I have worked in schools and with community
groups teaching creative writing and facilitating literature
projects.
I am currently project managing a Poet in Residence project for
the Norfolk and Norwich Festival.
My work is informed by issues of identity and displacement,
gender and domesticity and I’m enjoying exploring these issues in
collaboration with InPrint, the artists/writers collective
exhibiting at The Fringe.
