Writing on Wurundjeri country, I'm an award-winning journalist and former co-editor of Overland, Australia's longest-running journal of progressive culture.

My books have received acclaim and my articles appear in The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, ABC Online, The Guardian, The Conversation, The Australian, The Saturday Paper, The Monthly, The Courier-Mail, Art Monthly, Crikey.com, New Matilda and Good Weekend.

My essays appear in Griffith Review, Meanjin, Eyeline, Eureka Street, the Law Institute Journal and Overland. I've edited art publications and writers' magazines.

Sustainable life — cultural and environmental — is my primary focus. I have a PhD in cultural studies and certificates in permaculture design. I live in rural Victoria.
