:swings and roundabouts:
In my continued quest to get better at shameless self-promotion, I’m excited to tell you that on May 2nd ‘Swings and Roundabouts’ was released. This book was edited by wonderful Emma Neale and I was lucky enough to have one of my poems selected. I haven’t received my copy of the book yet, so I can’t comment too much on the other poems but I’m confident that under Emma’s editorship they will be of high quality. The surprise to me about the book is that apparently it is “beautifully illustrated with photos of babies and children” - the editors didn’t tell us that, and it is a nice surprise.
I’ll talk about the book a little more once I’ve seen it. There was also an interesting article in the Listener about Emma Neale’s new book, Spark and this anthology, and how motherhood has affected her. You can read that here, if you care to.
PS - if any NZers spot any reviews of the book in the coming weeks, can you let me know? Thanks, darlings.
