Stay A While is the 6th anthology of Romanian/Australian poetry and prose initiated by poet and editor Mihaela Cristescu in partnership with NEW Writers’ Group Inc.
All pieces in the anthology speak to the theme of Love. "The triumph of love, hope and wishes accomplished under the sign of mystique and elegance - an experience and an achievement in the same time, a collection of texts about our time of happiness and joy."
My short story included in the anthology, "Move On" explores the practicality of love - within the bounds of time, place and real-estate - and is inspired by Proust's observation:
“Desire makes everything blossom; possession makes everything wither and fade."
Launched at The State Library of New South Wales, March 2022.

The project centred on Parramatta and its people: personal memories, a story unfolding right now, or fiction that references the Parramatta area.
For me, having spent so much time in Parramatta as a burgeoning centre of creativity over a decade of great transformation - no greater topic matches the city than the notion that love transforms - though creation and destruction. Just as the city becomes the witness to the love stories, as they are born, still born or as they die. In "Going to Ground" Joseph Conrad inspires a reckoning between a poet and an historian with the epitaph ‘Your strength is just an accident arising from the weakness of others.’ Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness
Writing Parramatta 2021 was supported by a City of Parramatta Council Creative Economy Grant. As part of the project, NWG published Parramatta stories, poems and images digitally via nwg-inc.com.

In response to impacts of COVID-19 on the lives of locals, and on creative practitioners across Australia, Nillumbik Shire Council called for writers to provide short texts, reflecting on their pandemic experiences.
At the time, and for months afterwards, walking was one of the few sanctioned recreational activities, and in that way a reminder of 'normality' and the importance of community.
Twenty texts were selected to be stencilled onto public walkways for the Written in the Time of COVID-19 project. There, on the pavements of locations throughout Nillumbik, they could intersect with the precious pleasure of the daily stroll, jog or cycle.
Four of my poems are published in this anthology, two of them were made into street art stencils:
