My poetry has been published in various magazines, newspapers and webzines including Going Down Swinging, Foam:e, Famous Reporter, Blackmail Press (NZ)and twice on the Brisbane City Cats as part of QPF "Poem of the Week" project. Following being offered a Arts QLD Grant, my first book Station to Station was indpendently released in 2006 with performance poet Ghostboy and photographer and artist Justin Leegwater. In 2007 I launched my own independent poetry press - Small Change Press www.smallchangepress.com - with QLD poet Graham Nunn. My new chap book "And the Ringmaster Said.." is being released by Small Chnage Press in May 2008. In 2007 I completed a writers residency in Broken Hill following featuring at their 2006 Poetry Festival with Peter Bukowski. I have also performed feature readings at Montselvat Poetry Festival, Noosa Long Weekend Arts Festival, QLD Poetry Festival 2005-7, The Spinning Room (Melb), Passionate Tongues (Melb), & The Poets Union Reading @ The Brett Whitely Studio. I have also featured at some of Brisbane’s premier spoken word venues/events such as Kurilpa Poets @ Ahisma House, Riverbend Poetry Series - Bulimba, & Speedpoets.“It’s in the now. It bristles. Sex, love, politics, David Stavanger's poetry demands you prick up your ears” Dennis O’Rourke, Director – Cunnamulla / Landmines: A love Story
