1 3 y separately published work icon Flat Exit Broede Carmody , Melbourne : Cordite Press , 2017 10757364 2017 selected work poetry

'Flat Exit is about greetings and departures, learning to let go and circle back to pick up what remains. These poems jump between north-eastern Victoria and Melbourne, romantic and platonic relationships, moments of personal triumph and those of shellshocked grief.

'Collected here in this sequence, they explore the dislocation that occurs when moving from regional Australian to its urban mass, and when falling in and out of love for the first time. The poems revolve from homesickness, to self-care, to finding a soul to complement my own at an unexpected time and in an unexpected place – and life before and after the death of a close friend.

'Many of these poems are autobiographical; some are fiction. My intention is not to be confessional but – as Gwen Harwood says – to establish 'a way of seeing'. Mine, as it's been so far.' (Publication summary)

1 Not the Only Wordnerd in the Room Broede Carmody , 2014 single work essay
— Appears in: Voiceworks , Autumn no. 96 2014; (p. 5) 'I grew up in north-east Victoria, a good three hours’ drive from Melbourne. It was the kind of place with long, burning summers and highways that ate up the horizon. Back then phones were pretty much indestructible and I spent far too much time playing downball and Age of Empires (if either of those things is even possible). After school and on weekends I would whittle away the hours by devouring books and dreaming of one day writing my own. But like most wannabe writers from the country, something was missing.'
