Thank you to That Poetry Thing at Smith’s Alternative, Canberra, for the fantastic opportunity, and thank you to my dear sister, Stacey, for filming this set for me. I absolutely loved sharing my poetry with the audience! As much as I love my poems in their written form, speaking them into existence will always convey their purest form.

I had started preparing this set in July, not knowing that by the time I performed it in September, my health would have deteriorated to the point that I urgently needed to leave Canberra. So this big personal milestone signaled the end of a chapter, but it was a beautiful way to celebrate all that I’d achieved in Canberra as an emerging artist. Many of my friends showed up to support me as well, which I am so grateful for!
