My poem ‘All-day Wayside’ was Paula Green’s ‘Monday poem’ last week. Paula’s NZ Poetry Shelf blog is well known to NZ poets for its wide-ranging information, interviews, reviews and poems (print and audio) – if you haven’t checked it out, it’s widely and highly recommended.

I’m also delighted to be reading at the NZSA Wellington National Poetry Day celebration with Adrienne Jansen, Janis Freegard, Trish Harris, Peter Farrell, Reinhold Kittelberger, John Ewen, Marg Ranger, Keith Johnson, Vivienne Ball and open mic readers – 7pm, Monday 20 August, at Vic Books, Rutherford House, Lambton Quay – additional info below, or here.
