Here’s a little list of things I’ve been working on of late … I’d love to hear all about your recent successes, or works in progress, too 🙂

Poems (out now):

• ‘All the things I Kept’ in Cordite (Monster)
• ‘Strange Men’ in Southerly (Violence 78.3) – TW for sexual assault & violence
• ‘Night Drive’ came out a while ago now in Verity La

Scholarly stuff (out now):

‘The violent pacifist: Ethics and disorder in Sarah Waters’ The Paying Guests‘ (co-authored with the amazing Jessica Gildersleeve) English: Journal of the English Association, Volume 68, Issue 260, Spring 2019.

Queer Science Fictions (ed): a special issue of the peer-reviewed scholarly journal, Writing from Below. This super-great open-access journal issue includes an interview with Ellen Klages, and my article on James Tiptree Junior (‘His Unspoken Natural Centre’: James Tiptree, Jr as the Other I). The issue also includes an article exploring some of the intertextual connections in Rupetta by Daniel Hourigan and a great piece by Tara East on queer time travel stories (including one of my all-time favourites, Nino Cipri’s ‘The Shape of My Name’)

Writing and Researching (in) the regions (ed, with Lynda Hawryluk & Moya Costello): a special issue of the peer-reviewed, open-access scholarly journal TEXT: Journal of Writing & Writing Courses.
