He has published two collections of poetry, 'Palm Trees' and 'Attributed Harrow Painter', the latter of which was reviewed by Stephanie Burt in Rain Taxi Review. His poetry often explores personal themes such as parenthood, identity, and the complexities of family dynamics, particularly reflecting on his experiences in Aotearoa New Zealand and Kansas.
