Dreaming

Dreaming is a body of work attentive to thresholds: between waking and sleeping, grief and love, solitude and belonging, self and world. Set largely in recognisable Australian interiors and landscapes, these poems find unexpected depth in pubs after work, gardens tended by hand, coastal mornings, long roads, and moments of stillness that interrupt habit.Rather than seeking revelation through distant ideals, Dreaming locates meaning in presence—in what remains when striving drops away. The language is direct and spare, carrying emotional weight without ornament, and allowing silence to do its share of the work. This is poetry that trusts the reader, offering not answers but companionship, and inviting a slower, more attentive way of seeing.
