Personal Logistics is a collection about men and industry, about enterprise and survival, and about the insignificance of the individual in place and time. The collection details the poet's experiences and observations of life in the East Kimberley, as someone who has worked as a farmhand and as a stay-at home dad. Coursing through the collection, in both the wet season and the dry, is the theme of the relation between naturally flowing water and hydroelectricity, without which Kununurra, where the poet resides, would be considerably less hospitable.
