Mission Beach

Mission Beach is a coastal sequence where place becomes the main character.Set among cassowaries, mangroves, fruit bats, cafés, storms, wet roads, sea air, and people passing through or trying to remain, these poems create a living world shaped by tropical weather, memory, community, and solitude.Here, landscape is not background. It presses on every life, altering speech, desire, loneliness, and belonging.Mission Beach is poetry of a coastal place alive with human and non-human presence — a book of atmosphere, weather, character, and the strange intimacy of living near the edge of sea and forest.
