New micro memoir in Ourselves

I’m delighted to have a piece in this new Night Parrot Press collection, Ourselves. My micro memoir is titled On The Other Side is Antarctica and was inspired by the Southern Ocean and Shirley Hazzard.

Ourselves is the first collection of micro memoir published in Australia, featuring 100 micro memoirs by 100 Western Australian authors.

Congratulations and thank you to Laura Keenan, Casey Mulder and Linda Martin of Night Parrot Press on another beautiful publication. 

Thanks also to the WA Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries who provided the funding for this project. 

It’s available to order from your local independent bookstore and directly from Night Parrot Press here:

I was so fortunate to read my piece on Saturday at The Lane Bookshop as part of Neon Nights at the Town of Claremont’s Luminous Festival. I loved listening to my fellow authors read their memoirs, and since then I have read the whole book and LOVE it. I know that you will too. 

Happy reading and congratulations Night Parrot Press and WA writers!
