New Poetry Chapbook – After the Pantomime

Sorry for such a long gap between posts, I have been without a laptop for several months. (Don’t ask!) I didn’t have the money to get it out of the shop. Thank God for my flatmate’s laptops, however slow.

I had the launch of my latest poetry chapbook on the 4th of December at Lopdell House in Titirangi. It was a lovely evening, with the stunning views out to the harbour at Lopdell and having my favourite writer Vivienne Plumb attend made me more than a bit chuffed and reading alongside Murray Edmond. What a privilege.

The story behind the book is that I found a box of vintage photos and postcards in an op shop in Grey Lynn – some of them were uncanny in how they fitted my poems.

Jess van Zeal helped me give it the In Design treatment, and voila!

I hope you enjoy it. Here is the cover.

You can order it from me via email and I will have one made especially. They are $10.50 including postage and will take about a week, depending on where you live. Overseas? Include $2 more for postage.
