On ‘8 Questions For Esther Kinsky’
I had the immense pleasure of interviewing German writer Esther Kinsky about her novel, Rombo, for the wonderful Public Books. I read Rombo last year. As I mentioned in the interview, it was a spontaneous purchase – I knew of Kinsky but had not read anything by her before. Yet I recognised the energy and Read.

Release of Midnight Grotesques
I am very pleased to announce that my third book, Midnight Grotesques, has been published. MG is a collaboration with US-based artist Michelle Lynn Dyrness – something we cooked up and spoke about at length during the pandemic, exchanging ideas and words and images across time and space. The composition was like a dream: it Read.

On ‘Where the Dead Man Lost Himself’
My piece Where the Dead Man Lost Himself has been published in the May 2023 edition of the the mysterious RIC Journal.

On ‘When the World Folds In (The Dead Man)’
My piece When the World Folds In (The Dead Man) was published in the April edition of the elusive RIC Journal. This line: Good boy, dead man. …the way it had several meanings, its playfulness, had been on my mind in the lead up to composing this piece. With thanks to S – as always. Read.

On ‘Untitled (Death of the Dead Man)’
My piece Untitled (Death of the Dead Man) has been published in the anniversary edition of RIC Journal. As usual, it’s a privilege to have my writing be given a home – with thanks, as always, to Saudamini. As you can see, the Dead Man still follows me. Still tugs at my sleeve to distract Read.

Rounding up the Dead Man
I’ve been neglecting this space in recent months, so I’m behind on posting about the Dead Man pieces RIC has published. A little about the Dead Man – regardless of what else is happening in my life, and irrespective of what else I am writing or reading or thinking, he is a constant. He manifested Read.

On ‘Untitled (The Dead Man Drags His Feet)’
My piece Untitled (The Dead Man Drags His Feet) has been published in the March 2022 edition of RIC Journal. I try to forget the Dead Man, at least for a time, but then something happens and he reminds me that he is there – and very likely always will be. With thanks, always, to Read.

On ‘The Quadrant of the Dead Man’
My piece The Quadrant of the Dead Man has been published in the January 2022 issue of RIC Journal. Bit of a story behind this one. Last year, I wrote a Dead Man every month for RIC, January through to December. I had absolutely decided to take a break from that output and not write Read.
