“Exit Strategy arrives at an interesting point in my career trajectory, falling at what I hope is dead centre of a sea change in my life and poetic apprenticeship. Comprising poems collected from my second through to my fourth book, as well as new uncollected work held in reserve for an upcoming volume, Exit Strategy provides an interesting snapshot of me and my work at a moment in time that is surrounded by much of life's stuff, the marginalia of poetry: children, relocation, illness, divorce, acclaim, acceptance, struggle, renewal, etc. I look forward to reading this collection again when I'm older.”
