Anne Carson is a particularly important poet for me, and many other poets. When reading her genre-bending work, I've often thought, 'Wow, you can do that in poetry!?' It's made me feel I have permission to try something different too, made me a braver writer. www.theguardian.com/books/2026/o...

"In Epping forest in the 1950s a little girl with dark brown pigtails paddles in the water. It swirls and works around her Wellington boots. Little fairies and elves dance around. They have leaf boats and toadstools homes." Revelation Valley - poetry, politics and music. 17-19 Sep, Wellington, NZ

Today was a wonderful rehearsal of my poetry show with director Jim Moriarty. Looking at objectives and making discoveries. I have a great life and I'm grateful.

I am collecting paper to make a giant collage of paper to make a big drawing The early star was swaying gently next to the planet There was a gentle breeze in heaven Or a demonstration of a stigmatism Birds just keep on talking On a sunny spring morning I want to collage

I really adhd'd my time this morning. Forgot to take the car for warrant. Responded to query by mechanic at 11am 'oh yes - right now'. Then leaving immediately I packed my bag by trying to print some show posters, looking for my pencil case (car, couch, office x 2), and doing a collage.

Just told my MP (who is Labour) that there is zero chance of me voting for her if Labour support this godawful social media ban. It’s a data grab and won’t keep children safe at all.

Going out to see shows builds community in the act of collectively experiencing something. Laughing together, including with strangers, is medicine.

Tonight we are performing our play 'Waenga' in the dining hall of Ōrongomai Marae and tomorrow in the dining hall of Wainuiomata Marae. How lucky am I! Arts, community space, collective.

This point needs to be made over and again: The main purpose of wealth taxes should not be to raise revenue. That's a small and secondary benefit. The main purpose should be to *reduce the fortunes of the ultrarich*. Why? Because those fortunes present a massive threat to democracy and public life.

Producer life: print programmes, confirm tickets, feed the chickens, wait for physio, worry about time, counsel oneself against worrying about time, pack the car, forgot the tablecloth. Wish I'd made a list and put on the list the tablecloth (sitting in the dryer). Waiting for physio. Waenga

Wonky box flowers. Grateful I can afford this treat every now and then. They last ages too!

It may not solve all of problems currently facing the world, but I think we can all agree that bringing back gargoyles, mixtapes, and handwritten letters with wax seals would be an important first step.

Amazingly we are taking this play to 21 venues across 6 regions. So if you like inspirational energetic story telling based in Aotearoa check it out. Hastings, Waitara and down, originating 19 June in the head of the fish, Wellington.

Caught in two bubbles, a young woman with long brown hair and brown eyes and a young man in a suit with curly black hair and brown eyes stare at the camera. The word 'Waenga' between them is boxed in.

When you see the story about how the world now has its first trillionaire, and when you see the story about how laboratories in Congo have run out of supplies to test for Ebola, it is important to understand that in many ways these are the same story.

In the 1860's, Kumutoto Stream was the first stream in Wellington to be diverted to a culvert system... but no one remembered to tell the eels. Congrats to editor Nil_NZ for getting this special quote onto the front page of Wikipedia today 🥳 Find out where it came from: w.wiki/QWZu

A screenshot of the 'Did you know' section on the Wikipedia homepage. There is highlighting of the sentence '...that "no one told the eels to stop acting like eels" beneath the streets of Wellington.
