Books Plus Bathurst Supports My Writing

Books Plus in Bathurst have got in a number of copies of Overland 255 which features my poem 'split mind,' which was shortlisted for the 2023 Overland Judith Wright Poetry Prize by Toby Fitch, Andy Jackson, Elena Gomez and Autumn Royal. The staff at Books Plus are great for a chinwag about literature which I always enjoy. It is so sweet to see Books Plus support me and my writing and I hope at some stage to have a book of my own on their shelves. Thank you also to Overland for selecting this poem for publication. It constitutes my second journal publication.

I should probably make this another post but in November of last year I read my poems at Sappho Books in Glebe, NSW for their monthly poetry night, hosted by Toby Fitch, alongside poetic luminaries Amy Crutchfield, Sarah Temporal, and Debbie Lim. I had a wonderful time.
