*Poetry reading in Wellington on Sunday 15 February*

I'm reading poems from my new collection "Dracula in the Colonies" at the Office Bar, 124 Riddiford St, Newtown on Sunday 15 February - you're very welcome to come along, and entry is free.

This is part of the Poetry and Music at Newtown's Office Bar series. The event starts at 4pm with an Open Mike (make sure you arrive on time if you want to sign up to read), then there's a break for food & drink from the bar downstairs, then I'll be reading around 5.30. See you there!

Thanks and blessings to folk ku journal for publishing these two tanka of mine in folk ku #4.

Folk ku is an international haiku and tanka journal based in Australia dedicated to the memory of Master Masaoka Shiki, who wrote much of his pieces while bedridden with tuberculosis, and includes translations of some of his haiku.

You can freely download it here: https://kingriverpress.com/folk-ku-journal-free-pdf/

News that insurance companies are considering refusing to insure houses in flood-prone areas reminded me of “Written Off”, a poem from my 2016 collection New Sea Land. There is no mercy in insurance...

Because a social media platform is useless if it doesn't contain something that the others don't, here's a little bit of news I haven't shared anywhere else: I recently summoned the courage to submit my first ever poem to a literary journal, and they've accepted it. Officially a paid poet.

Yes, it's western-themed and a little bit horny and a little bit sad. Right on brand, eh. Can't wait to share it when the time comes.
