My first book, an essay about photography, will be published by Fitzcarraldo Editions in 2023.
My poetry, journalism and essays have appeared in The Guardian, The London Review of Books, The New York Review of Books Daily, The Economist, The White Review, Sight & Sound, New Internationalist, MAP Magazine, New Statesman, 1843 Magazine, Elephant, Photomonitor, Little White Lies, Blackbox Manifold, 3:AM Magazine and SPAMZINE among others. In 2016 and 2018 I was shortlisted for the Fitzcarraldo Editions essay prize.
I’m currently co-directing a documentary for the New Yorker, about charcoal burning in Calabria. Previous films I've co-directed have been nominated for a One World Media award, featured on Nowness, screened at festivals internationally and selected as a Vimeo Staff Pick.
