She spends a lot of time daydreaming about having the time to play Harvest Moon and finally finishing FFIII and Chrono Trigger. She doesn’t have a degree in creative writing and is kind of just making things up as she goes. She writes a lot of things that she can’t find categories for. Her work can be found scattered through the internet and the occasional print magazine at places such as Wildness, Outlook Springs, Noble Gas Qtrly, and Datableed Zine. Her micro-chapbook, Inventory, is currently available from Ghost City Press. These days she can frequently be found staring at surreal art, listening to k-pop, sitting on trains, and feeling like a fraud. Follow her on twitter for your daily dose of food tweets and entirely mundane observations, or you can follow her on instagram for even more food tweets and entirely mundane observations, but this time in photo format.

She writes poetry about memory and embodiment, anatomical realities, and ghosts. If that doesn’t interest you, I don’t know what will. Besides a poet, she’s a scholar, dreamer, and the rest. Born in Fiji, raised in Melbourne, and living in Brisbane, her working has been published in Peril, Sundog Lit, Uneven Floor, Wildness, and elsewhere. She was awarded the 2016 Arts Queensland Thomas Shapcott Poetry Prize. Her first poetry collection, The Agonist, is forthcoming from University of Queensland Press in August 2017. Like the rest of us, she wishes she had more time to read.
