Some place else: 'Tongues of Ash' and 'Men Briefly Explained' Book Launch Tour

Tongues of Ash is my debut collection of poetry. It is published by Brisbane-based trans-Tasman publisher Interactive Publications and was awarded the publisher's 2011 IP Picks Best First Book prize.

The poems are mainly to do with landscape, place, memories of place, the physical world, the environment and notions of 'home'. The publisher calls it "travel" poetry as it is also about my personal journey through time and place and my travels within New Zealand and overseas.

Readers have called it "beautiful and touching" and "a wonderful collection of poems".

Since then my work has appeared in Landfall, JAAM, Snorkel, Idiom 23, and other publications and has received or been short-listed for awards in New Zealand, Australia, and Ireland. Prizes for my poetry include an equal first place in the 2006 Yellow Moon Spirit of Place competition and first place in the International Tertiary Student Poetry section of the 2009 Bauhinia Literary Awards.
