On ‘The Dead Man’s Gun’
My piece The Dead Man’s Gun has been published in the May 2020 edition of the ever-mysterious RIC Journal. The Dead Man shifts and shakes based on mood or the position of the stars – I’m never sure where I will find him or where he will end up, especially in the era of the… Read.

On ‘The Dead Man’s Nightmare’
Some good news in the bad: RIC Journal has returned. If there was ever a good time to return from the dead, it is now. Not only that, the April 2020 edition features my piece The Dead Man’s Nightmare. It is always, always a pleasure to be published in RIC’s pages – they always welcome the… Read.

Gerald Murnane – Another World in This One
My Paris Review piece on the now-infamous 2018 Gerald Murnane conference in Goroke, Victoria will be published as part of Gerald Murnane: Another World in This One, papers from and inspired by the conference. The collection is edited by Professor Anthony Uhlmann of Western Sydney University; it was a thrill to be asked by Anthony… Read.

On ‘Reverse Obituary’
Very pleased to say that my piece Reverse Obituary has been published in the January 2020 edition of RIC Journal. This was inspired by the desire to write an obit of sorts for Kabid and pull all the threads of his life story – i.e. pre-death and before he became The Dead Man – together;… Read.

On ‘Dead Man Poems II’
Very happy to be able to write that my second suite of Dead Man poems has been published by RIC in their December 2019 edition. It’s always a thrill to see my writing in RIC Journal, and it’s especially gratifying to see the Dead Man, who RIC have been so supportive of, continuing to see… Read.

On Anne Serre’s The Fool
I had the serious pleasure of reviewing The Fool and Other Moral Tales by Anne Serre for Music & Literature. Picked up The Fool on a whim (cover got me, and the fact it was published by New Directions), thoroughly enjoyed what Serre was up to, and immediately ordered The Governesses. Wanted more, but this… Read.
