So grateful for the wonderful Kate Fagan, who was my partner-in- literature when I was the Cultural Strategist at City of Parramatta and creating the Laureate in Literature program.
It was hugely challenging and incredibly rewarding to create this opportunity for a writer.

When I arrive in Germany, I eat my first pretzel on the train.
There's a blue sky. There's a florist downstairs. Angels are in the architecture. Graffiti & political stickers everywhere. The streets are lined with linden trees in bloom, the air is sweet. At the pharmacy I buy a yellow toothbrush.
