panda wong - CV

I am a poet, writer and editor currently based in Narrm. I currently work as the Melbourne City of Literature Office Communciations Officer. I am also an Editorial Board Member at The Suburban Review and Performance Review.

I am one-half of poetry/sound project lotus threads with musician Hannah Wu, as well as its expanded project lotus web featuring harpist and multi-instrumentalist Genevieve Fry, double bass player John Szetho, flautist Jack Whu.

My writing has appeared in multiple publications including Cordite, Overland, The Lifted Brow, Liminal, Sick Leave, Djed Press, Rabbit Journal, Cordite, Free Association and more. I have written for and exhibited work at galleries, such as BLINDSIDE, TCB and SEVENTH. I’ve taught workshops for Darebin Arts, Emerging Writers Festival and SIGNAL. I’ve also performed at Emerging Writers Festival, RISING, Thin Red Lines, State Library Victoria, and more. I was also shortlisted in the Judith Wright Poetry Prize 2023/2024 and the Wesley Michel Wright Prize in 2022, and won the Local Word Poetry Prize in 2024/25. I co-edited Best of Australian Poems 2023.

My first chapbook ‘angel wings dumpster fire’ was released in July 2022, shortly followed by my debut collaborative poetry EP salmon cannon me into the abyss.

Working across poetry, music, performance and digital spaces, my practice explores grief’s transformative nature on life and language. Collaboration is key to my practice—I love making work with my friends.
