Hi! I’m a writer based in Melbourne. I’ve written about literature, film, music and art for various Australian and international publications. I’m currently at work on a book of essays.

A few recent pieces of writing:

’The Path of Cheerful Despair’ - On Marguerite Duras’ My Cinema for the Los Angeles Review of Books
’Resonances’ - On Carla Lonzi’s Feminism in Revolt for New Left Review
