Driving into the Dark
Driving into the Dark is a collection of poems published over the last five years. There are narrative poems and poems that respond to daily life and to world events. They reflect upon life’s precious moments, its vagaries, its joys and the nature of love and loss.
Curtain Calls
From the small but influential Jane Street Theatre in Randwick to the Royal Court Theatre, the Bankside Globe, the esteemed Old Vic and the National Theatre of Great Britain, in London, the author worked on several significant 20th-century productions before returning to Australia, where he converted a deconsecrated church complex in Sydney into a 200 seat venue for avant-garde performances. Curtain Calls relates the author’s journey with insights into the productions and behind-the-scenes anecdotes about the participating actors and production personnel.

Ecological Anxiety collects 18 poems reflecting concerns about biodiversity and the environment.
The Suicide Season

Reflections While Flying On Empty
‘Reflections While Flying on Empty is the work of a poet who has grown and matured and is now in full flight. There is a depth of reflection, well observed and expressed. These poems remain in one’s memory long after reading’ Joan Keating, Fryer Library, University of Queensland
