I’m delighted to announce a new book of poetry One River published by Puncher & Wattmann October 2023. This collection is composed of a series of haibun written in response to walking the Hunter River and its tributaries. More information about the book and where to buy it are available here.

An edited video of One River’s Maitland launch can be found above. Its includes an conversation/interview about One River with fine poet Dimitra Harvey, and one of the poems is performed with musical interludes from pianist Paul MacNamara.

Poet Magdalena Ball has recently posted a review of One River. Find it at her website compulsivereader.com

Looking further ahead, there will be a Newcastle launch of One River at MacLeans Books 6pm Thursday 21st February 2024.
