Hi! I’m Rebecca
I’m a writer and editor with a love of language and wordplay.
I grew up reading poetry by writers from the UK and the USA (poets like Michael Rosen, Roald Dahl and Shel Silverstein). I still enjoy their poetry, but as a Western Australian writer, I believe it’s also important for Australian kids to be able to read poetry by writers who live, breathe and write in the places familiar to them. Since 2023 I’ve compiled poetry anthologies of 21st century Australian poets, books that kids can thumb through, dip in and out of and dog-ear! I love to share the poems I’ve found that get kids laughing, thinking and playing with words.
