Hi, I'm Charlotte and I am a writer, photographer, and PhD candidate in Creative Writing at Deakin University.

My thesis looks at the life and loves of Clodia Metelli, an aristocratic woman from the Late Roman Republic. Clodia is best known as 'Lesbia' from Gaius Valerius Catullus' erotic poetry. Contemporary accounts of Clodia suggest she was a gifted poet herself: my creative work, a poetry collection, reimagines her writing for the modern reader.
