Happy to be the feature poet thanks to the NZ Poetry Society!!

NZPS's a fine line magazine, Autumn edition, takes flight with thought-provoking articles from Helen McKinlay and Raewyn Alexander, poems from our brilliant Members on the theme of Birds, plus a special collaboration between New Zealand and Jamaican poets, organised by Jamaican poet Ann-Margaret Lim and our very own NZPS President Shane Hollands, with poems that will make your imagination soar and flutter.

And for our Autumn Featured Poet, I am delighted to present Piet Nieuwland, whose poems make graceful and unexpected swerves, and gentle collisions in language.

Please SIGN UP to be an NZPS member. Financial members receive the magazine first — don't miss out.
