Organising a reading in a friend's backyard (thank you Matt and Fiona!) for this Saturday. It'll be the last time I read in Sydney for a while as I'm moving down to Melbourne later this month! Would love it if you made it. Link in bio to RSVP (or DM me for address)
Next week I'll be chatting with @katyilonka about her poetry collection The Anxiety Of Conception. Computationally arranged, each printing of this book is unique and it has been so cool moving between the two copies I have and comparing the reading experience! Wednesday March 11, 6:30pm, Better Read Than Dead - booking link in my bio. Come thru!!
I have an essay up on Cordite about drive-in cinemas, featuring a series of interactive ASCII art.
I've been having a rough time lately, and making ASCII art has been quite therapeutic — it's slow and gentle work, both very fuzzy and very forgiving.
The essay is best experienced on computer, but works on phones. Go see it on Cordite (link in bio)
Prepping for my @hunterwriterscentre workshop by going back through bookmarks of my favourite digital-born creative pieces published in Aus over the last few years. Very excited to talk through some of these next month!

Another piece from last year I never got to sharing here - this interactive poem 'crush choreography' is the first time I've tinkered with sound in my own web work. So so grateful to @_maxnc_ and @shheeelllbby for publishing it in The HTML Review, the dreamiest journal on the internet imo!! check it on thehtml.review/archive
Got some work I never shared on here, so catch up time! First: I wrote this interactive essay for Cordite last year about one of my favourite Twitter bots, which has been offline for about 4 years now. Pictured here are some 'recovered fragments' from the bot.
I hadn't written prose in this form for ages and I'm very proud of it! Link is in my bio if you like reading about internet ephemera 🍃
If you're on/near Gadigal land next month I'm co-facilitating a workshop @vergegallery with computer poem cowboy @blannahjenkins as part of their exhibition with @ellendahlfoto ! It's such a sick exhibition and I'm so proud of my friend for the work they've put into it.
It's on May 6 in the morning at the gallery! We're gonna make human scale generative poetry together - no AI just vibes :')
