The Memory Library (2024)
—Welcome, et cetera. (He waved his long arms, gesturing to the shop’s interior). Let me know if you need anything, or anything explained. And, if you’ve just stepped inside to get warm, that’s fine. Isn’t this weather preposterous!
I approached the counter, aware of each foot trailing through spills of muted light cast through the old windows. (I’m surprised that I can remember these details since I’ve never borrowed the recording I made of it. You’re not encouraged to borrow your own. Charlie once explained why that was. I’m sure there’s a reason. He’s immensely sensible.)

A Philosophy of Practising with Deleuze's Difference and Repetition (2021)
A Philosophy of Practising develops a philosophical understanding of the complexities and productivities of practices – artistic, sporting, nurturing or conceptual – that we engage with and call us beyond our current limits. It is a carefully conceived project that uses Gilles Deleuze’s philosophical insights regarding difference and repetition to articulate the ways in which practising enables new modes of self-creation.

You Will Not Know In Advance What You'll Feel (2019)
This threshold, the edge of things’—now, this single instant, unfolding through itself time, syntax, memory, want. You Will Not Know In Advance What You’ll Feel has this radically spare structure of thought, within which, against which, Pont is characterful, quick, sensuous, ecstatic. Like Woolf’s novel The Waves, this work creates the silence out of which it speaks. It washes the words in it. Reading these poems, you meet time—face to blind face.

Practising with Deleuze (2017)
With co-authors: Suzie Attiwill, Andrea Eckersley, Terri Bird, Jon Roffe & Philipa Rothfield.
Practising with Deleuzeoffers the first systematic reading of Gilles Deleuze’s mature philosophy from the perspective of contemporary creative practitioners, including fine artists, a dancer, a creative writer, designer and philosopher. It offers a way of rethinking notions of aesthetics, art, and creativity within the field of practice. Unconventional in presentation, this book is reflective of the engagement of contemporary creative practices with the generative philosophy of Deleuze. Each chapter focuses on a key aspect of production - practising, forming, framing, experiencing, and encountering - and is accompanied by short summary texts outlining the context of Deleuze’s contributions to each of these aspects. These discussions contextualise Deleuzian thought within a range of practices. In so doing, they enable the reader to approach these philosophical concepts within the milieu of creative practice.
