About Me

I was awarded a PhD by the University of Auckland last year after submitting a thesis on EP Thompson, the English historian, literary scholar, political activist, poet, and sometime cricketer. I've worked as a museum librarian, editor, and proofreader. I've published scholarly texts, literary criticism, poems, and poltical writing in a range of journals. In 2007 Titus Books published a collection of my poetry and prose called To the Moon, in Seven Easy Steps. Currently I'm revising my PhD thesis for publication and working on a book about the Kiwi poet Kendrick Smithyman. I live in Auckland but spend a lot of my time in the backblocks of North Island, especially south of the Puniu River in Te Rohe Potae.

Which is easier to make a model airplane out of and why: a banana peel or a wet sock?
