Country Dreaming

Country does not simply surround us. It forms us.

Country Dreaming is a collection of poems exploring the living relationship between land, people, animals, plants, memory, and self-discovery.

Set within the Australian landscape of rare flora and fauna, heat, water, silence, old presence, and movement, these poems ask what it means to be shaped by country?not as scenery, but as force, teacher, and living inheritance.

Through human lives, encounters with the natural world, and moments of quiet revelation, Country Dreaming follows the way country enters us, alters us, and reveals something of who we are.

At its heart, this is a book about belonging: how land forms identity, how place shapes perception, and how the world around us continues to speak if we learn to listen.
