I’m an Australian poet, novelist, critic and publisher. I grew up on the Northern Beaches of Sydney and then studied at Sydney University. Now I teach Creative Writing at the University of Newcastle. I started a press in 2005, puncherandwattmann.com. My critical publications, which includes a few poems, can be found at academia.com.
