OTHER WRITING
One of the reasons I write is to find threads connecting my different experiences. I find I’m always balancing contrasts, places near and far, the past and the present, the sciences and the arts. Themes that fascinate me include home, belonging, landscape, and the evolution of relationships.
I love the challenge of seeking publication because it pushes me to craft my work into my best. Here are some of my publications, articles, and honours.
