Carl Walsh goes on a pilgrimage in our 2026 Bloomsday Supplement
Carl Walsh is a neurodiverse poet who lives and writes in Melbourne on Wurundjeri land. His poetry has appeared in StylusLit, Meanjin, Rabbit, Tokyo Poetry Journal, Shearsman Magazine, Echidna Tracks, Westerly and Jacaranda (amongst others). His first book of poetry, Tarp Green Light has just been published through Flying Islands.
If I had to sum up Carl Walsh’s Tarp Green Light in one word it would be mindful. The work focuses inward, quietly observant, converting memory into the present moment through deep and sustained observation.
