In my latest substack post, I’ve shared a poem shaped by my mother’s quiet recollections of growing up in rural Victoria in Australia - memories of roasts kept warm in the oven, cows on the road, and the quiet work that filled her days.

I have tariffed
the penguins
that are on
Heard Island

and which

Last night I shared on Substack a poem called Mulloway Night—about drifting in a river with a friend, chasing fish and silence, and what it means to be lost in the dark without needing to be found. Let me know if it lands with you. #Poetry open.substack.com/pub/poeticin...
