My poem ‘pua o Te Rēinga’ (Māori for flower of Hades) in the beautiful Underworld issue of Magma Poetry. Thanks to editors Leo Boix, Kate Simpson & Ella Duffy for including this one (thanks for the inspo, Underworld 🎧) 🤍

In a world of threadbare metaphors for love, I’m deeply grateful to Gavin Yuan Gao for this in ‘Clair de lune’, published in the latest issue of PlumwoodMountain: ‘Love, you are the sea / seeking the attention / of a single oyster.’

I started the Sea Library with 100 books. now I would need around that much to reach 1000. if 1/10 of my followers would give a gift of their favorite sea book on approaching Sea Library’s birthday, that would be possible. it’s just a number, I know, but what a lovely milestone.

So thrilled to see this exceptional work recognised. Brava Willo and Moon Wrasse!

Moon Wrass by Dr Willo Drummond is shortlisted for the Kenneth Slessor Prize for poetry. A lyrical collection of work sl.nsw.gov.au/awards/kenneth… I had the remarkable honour of contributing my art to the work, and it makes my heart sing each time I see this work praised and exalted

Like Edward Hirsch, I’m partial to thinking of poetry as incantation, and so I adored (& am deeply grateful for) this intuitive and perceptive reading of #MoonWrasse (Puncher and Wattmann ) by Misbah Wolf over at Mascara Literary Review 🙏💙🐟💫

"Reading [MoonWrasse] I was able to chart a ship in the shadows of Dr Willo Drummond's glorious book—through my own grief over childlessness, my estrangement from others/lovers, my deep love for ecology, for the mud& muck of various things I have lost, found, re-imagined."

Pinching myself to be a part of the BBC’s ‘Contains Strong Language’ festival as part of Red Room Poetry Poetry Month 2024. I’ll be performing at the Poetry Sydney live-streamed event at Knox Street Bar Sat 31st, 6pm, alongside an exhilarating lineup—can’t wait! 🎤📘✨

Writers, musicians, are you looking for a brilliant illustrator to collaborate on cover artwork, liner notes etc? I commissioned Adam to provide illustrations for my debut #MoonWrasse and his stunning work elevated the whole collection. He’s also lovey to work with. Recommended!
