About Me
- Jack Ross
- I've published seven poetry collections, including Chantal's Book (2002), A Clearer View of the Hinterland (2014), The Oceanic Feeling (2021), and Tesseract (2026), as well as several works of fiction: most recently Haunts (2024). In 2022 I retired from my job as a Senior Lecturer in Creative Writing at Massey University, but I continue to blog at The Imaginary Museum.
