Thuy On is an Australian arts journalist, editor, critic and poet and the reviews editor for ArtsHub.[1] On's second collection, Decadence, was published in July 2022, and longlisted for the 2023 Stella Prize.[2] The Stella Prize judges described the collection as 'a thrilling and wry evisceration of poetry gatekeeping on this continent'.[3]
On's debut, a collection of poetry called Turbulence, came out in 2020 and was released by University of Western Australia Publishing (UWAP). Jackie Smith wrote in Mascara Literary Review: 'The way these poems are crafted is beautiful yet incredibly respectful of the impact the subject's passing would have on friends, family members and even strangers'.[4] On's third book, Essence, is planned to be published by UWAP in 2025.[5]
On has written for publications including The Guardian, The Saturday Paper, The Australian, The Age/SMH, Sydney Review of Books, Books & Publishing and Australian Book Review.[6] She was the Books Editor of The Big Issue.[7]
