She can often be found scribbling poems on scraps of paper or in her notes app—some of which eventually find a home in publications like Cordite Poetry Review, Industrial Estate, Island Magazine and Red Room Poetry.

Their work reflects their lived experience of intergenerational trauma, poverty, substance use, grief and healing. As a queer and neurodivergent person, Lucy hopes their writing speaks to the many intersecting identities they hold—offering recognition, resonance, and solidarity to those navigating complex, layered experiences. Writing has always been a form of survival, a way to process their life, and in sharing that, they hope to make people with similar experiences feel less alone.

Lucy’s writing reflects a deep commitment to uplifting voices often left unheard. Growing up with a parent who was formerly incarcerated, she understands the complex and enduring impact the justice system has on families and communities. She is passionate about humanising those affected by incarceration and dismantling the stigma surrounding it—sharing stories that foster empathy, connection, and collective healing.

Outside of their creative practice, Lucy works with community to share and document stories that matter. They also work in the addiction recovery space, drawing on their lived experience to promote harm reduction and support empowered, compassionate choices. They are also a sister, daughter, and aunty, and find deep meaning in their family roles—showing up with love, care, and a commitment to helping break cycles handed down through generations.
