Collected Online Works

Thought I would go through and list my collected online works for your enjoyment.

I will start with my books.  Diary of a Schizophrenic was my first book, and was launched at the 2010 Melbourne Writers Festival.  It was a diary I kept in 1998 during my first psychotic episode.  You can buy the book here on Amazon.

My second book, A Schizophrenic on Artaud, was launched at Readings in Carlton.  It is a poetic exploration of the life and work of the French author Antonin Artaud.  You can buy the work here on Amazon.

Next to my poems.  I have had quite a few poems published in online journals.  The first, a few poems I had published in Mascara Literary Review.  Then Stylus, Divan, and verb-ate-him. My poem in Westerly will be out online in the next year or so, but you can view the details here.

I was at the Emerging Writers Festival this year, and the ABC were filming.  You can view the panel I was on here at the Big Ideas website. I was also on channel 31 reading from my second book on a show called Red Lobster.  You can watch here.

After the launch of my first book at the Melbourne Writers Festival, I was on Radio National's program All in the Mind.  You can listen here.

I also host a radio show on 3CR called Poet's Corner, as part of the Brainwaves show.  You can download podcasts here.

I had an article published in an online academic journal in the UK called Consciousness Literature and the Arts on the ballet dancer Nijinsky. You can read the article here.  I also had a paper on Foucault published in an academic journal called Cogito.  You can view the details here.

I gave a paper on Wittgenstein and Schizophrenia at the University of Sydney.  You can view the abstract here.

There is footage of me reading from my Artaud book on youtube which you can watch here.

The details of my Masters degree and PhD can be found on Trove here.

Hope this is to your enjoyment! Stay tuned for more publications!

Poem in Divan Poetry Journal

I have had the good fortune to have a poem out in the new Divan Poetry Journal.  It's called 'Where Memories Form'. It's a poem I like to think of as being one of my oneiric poems (meaning dream-like). You can read the poem here. Hope you enjoy!

A Schizophrenic on Artaud on Youtube

I have posted a video on youtube of me reading from my new book, A Schizophrenic on Artaud.  I thought the surrounds of my study worked quite well, with some antiquarian books sitting on my mahogany writing desk (with a globe of the world on the corner).  I read from the last part of the book, which has a very dramatic last line - "Silence". Thanks to my brother who produced the video, he did a great job.  You can see the video here on youtube. Hope you enjoy!
