A Bardi Jawi award-winning poet, author and illustrator, Bebe is all heart and hustle. A leader in Blak storytelling, he’s written and created work across stages, streets and seas, from Australia to Europe.

Bebe’s debut poetry collection more than these bones (Magabala Books, 2023) won praise for its raw beauty, while his latest collection if this is the end (Magabala Books, 2024) was labelled "an instant queer Blak classic".

Living on Kulin Country, Bebe is a fierce advocate for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander creatives.
