From the Press
Love letters to North Melbourne Pool
This book is a collection of stories celebrating North Melbourne Pool. Written by local swimmers and water lovers who recall their fondest memories from the pool and reflect on why it means so much to them.
Records of the Loss Property Department of Gardiner Reserve
This book of picture poems is a soulful, and at times gently satirical, meditation on the question of human loss. Set in the Shiel Street environ itself, the marvellous Gardiner Reserve.
Nocturnes: A Passage of Dreams
A play about grief and love. Their primal intimacy is its story. Nocturnes thinks that what was painfully learned about love and grief in the early 20th century remains troublingly true.
