The second piece in our Art Work series is out, and it's poet laureate and generally awesome human Chris Tse talking about how he gets his incredible mahi done! thespinoff.co.nz/partner/15-06-…

I love working in the arts but faaaaaark it's tough sometimes. thespinoff.co.nz/partner/15-06-…

Long shot, but if you have seen our kickass tangata whaiora aunty, Paula Harris. Please let us know. We want to know where she is, so so badly. Arohanui e tuakana x rnz.co.nz/news/national/…

We are devastated to hear this news. Paula performed at many of our events and was a force to be reckoned with. Her poetry was incisive, honest and beautiful. Rest in power, Paula, rest in love. nzherald.co.nz/nz/paula-justi…

We'll be there!

No matter where in the world this happens, it resonates and hurts. All love to our friends at Bad Betty Press and the UK poetry community, and to Gboyega's friends and whānau ♥️
