About

Hi! I'm Rory Green.

I'm a writer, editor and coder who lives and works on Gadigal land.

Writing

I write poetry and electronic literature about memory, place and media culture. In 2016 I took part in Express Media's inaugural Toolkits: Poetry program, and in 2019 I was selected for Running Dog's inaugural poetry micro-residency.

Here are some things I have written:

• gengar, Cordite Poetry Review
• futurity blues, Running Dog
• sentiment anomaly, The Lifted Brow
• mammoth, Rabbit Poetry issue 24, LGBTQIA+
• golem, Plumwood Mountain Volume 5 Number 2

My current main writing project is Otherwise Pokedex, a Tinyletter I have been publishing since January 2017 with the aim to publish a poem for each of the 151 first generation Pokemon.

I also make zines! My infozines are free to download and distribute:

• Make computer-generated poems, fiction and bots with Tracery
• Little book of poem games
• Make interactive fiction with Twine
• Making narrative games with Bitsy

Events

I'm currently available to read my work and facilitate workshops on a number of topics including: computer-facilitated writing, zine-making, creative constraints, and online communities. Email me if you've got a hookup!
