Tales From Twisted Town is a collection of poems and lyrics spanning five decades of writing, organised into eight thematic cycles. Moving from intimate family history through social and political structures to questions of belief, power and silence, the collection traces the hidden architectures that shape ordinary life.
Written and revised between 1974 and 2026, the work reflects the full arc of a life's engagement with language - direct, formally varied, and quietly subversive. Each cycle functions independently while contributing to a larger argument about how inherited stories determine the choices available to us.
Tales From Twisted Town will appeal to readers of contemporary Australian poetry and to those interested in the intersection of the personal and the political in literary verse.
