In October, I released a new non-fiction book with Earl of Seacliff Art Workshop.
In Memoriam is a collection of obituaries and tributes to poets and writers I have written for the Poetry Archive of NZ Aotearoa newsletter and website between 2008 and 2026. I have written on friends and contacts I have been involved with as a poet and publisher over the years and other notable poets and writers. The book offers poignant tributes and often illuminating and detailed write ups of writing lives. Writers included: Bernard Gadd, Harvey McQueen, David Mitchell, Larry Matthews, John d'Estaing Adams aka Kenny the Busker, Cyril Childs, Les Cleveland, John O'Connor, Ruth Gilbert, Rachel Bush, Teresia Teaiwa, P V Reeves, Laura Solomon, Yilma Tafere Tasew, Robin Fry, Bill Sutton, Iain Sharp, Moshé Liba, Tim Shadbolt, Ron Palenski, John Irvine, André Surridge, Will Leadbeater, Niel Wright, Nadine LaHatte, Brian Turner, Noeline Gannaway, Vincent O'Sullivan and Riemke Ensing.
The book will be available at lulu.com bookstore.
