I've got a piece in today's Guardian Australia about the Australian Museum's extinction cabinets and Zoe Sadokierski's Survival Stories project. I'm very grateful to have seen the cabinets - they're a very powerful experience - and for Mikearoo' beautiful photos. theguardian.com/science/articl…

I love this book. It's funny and moving and incredibly smart, and one of the best things I've read in a very long time. I can't recommend it highly enough.

I realised the other night that it's almost precisely 30 years since my first book, Paper Nautilus, was published. It's strange reading it now - it seems so fully formed and immediate - but also so long ago. Anyway, here's the title poem. I still like it. cityoftongues.com/poetry/paper-n…

“Australia generates around 76 million tonnes of waste a year. And while a bit over 60% of that is recycled or recovered in some way, close to a third – almost a tonne for every person in the country – ends up in landfill.” | James Bradley on waste mnth.ly/ouClfkX

Just unbelievably thrilled to see Charlotte Wood's Stone Yard Devotional on the The Booker Prizes shortlist. A beautiful, spare and hauntingly strange novel about the geological movement of grief by one of Australia's best writers (and an excellent human). theguardian.com/books/2024/sep…
