My poetry has been published in various magazines, newspapers and webzines including Going Down Swinging, Foam:e, Famous Reporter, Blackmail Press (NZ)and twice on the Brisbane City Cats as part of QPF "Poem of the Week" project. Following being offered a Arts QLD Grant, my first book Station to Station was indpendently released in 2006 with performance poet Ghostboy and photographer and artist Justin Leegwater. In 2007 I launched my own independent poetry press - Small Change Press www.smallchangepress.com - with QLD poet Graham Nunn.
My new chap book "And the Ringmaster Said.." is being released by Small Chnage Press in May 2008. In 2007 I completed a writers residency in Broken Hill following featuring at their 2006 Poetry Festival with Peter Bukowski. I have also performed feature readings at Montselvat Poetry Festival, Noosa Long Weekend Arts Festival, QLD Poetry Festival 2005-7, The Spinning Room (Melb), Passionate Tongues (Melb), & The Poets Union Reading @ The Brett Whitely Studio. I have also featured at some of Brisbane’s premier spoken word venues/events such as Kurilpa Poets @ Ahisma House, Riverbend Poetry Series - Bulimba, & Speedpoets.

Kimle tanışmak isterim: that imposter joke of a performance poet Ghostboy who has been going around performing my words without my permission- haven't you heard of copyright GET YOUR NAIL POLISHED HANDS OFF MY POEMS!..you are a blight on the beauty of the page / a stain on the stage of creation...I also deeply love you.
Heyya David, just to say that review I did of your book shall appear in December's 'Famous Reporter'...about time you may say but perhaps, in the timeless world of poesy, right on time. Hope you're good and may we tread the boards together again one day. Max
Davido! Happy Birthday today! Hope it's great day and we love you! From one Fabio to another 'Hair that flicks get the chicks" :) But seriously Happy Birthday. xo marisa and all the animals in Bremen Town
