My work as a writer is concerned with attention, perspective, imagination and quiet.
My writing moves between life writing, poetry, fragments, portraits and creative nonfiction. I'm drawn to the possibilities of selection, omission and arrangement; to creating impressions through carefully chosen words, and to what might be left unsaid.
I work with fragments of lives, moments, memories and voices, sometimes my own, sometimes those of others, sometimes discovered in existing texts. I seek to shape them so that a life might appear.
Alongside my own writing, I undertake selected ghostwriting commissions and am developing a Portrait Writing practice.
I continue to study writing and literature through a Master of Arts at Deakin University.
I publish selected writing through my Ghost publication:
https://pbgwriter.ghost.io which also houses the archive of Dream Intentionally — While You're Awake.
Much of my work is less an argument than an invitation: to pay attention, consider other perspectives, dream intentionally, value quiet and hold an impression.
write on.
