πβ¨ poet, bookhag, moonwife. Iβve written a book (which you can find here): https://aucklanduniversitypress.co.nz/transposium/
I'm good at being terrible at self-promotion. However, my book 'Calamities!' came out earlier this year & then kinda vanished from existence & made no end-of-the-year lists or anything like that but fuck it, I'm quite proud of it. It's angry & a bit funny. Poems: shop.goodbookshop.nz/p/calamities...

They were placed in a central compartment in the Aviary, and an extra layer of wire netting was placed over it to make it doubly secure. Shortly after being placed in this compartment they were noticed burrowing and the Inspector of Works immediately floored the compartment with rough boards. Unfortunately the enclosure at one side was occupied by Keas and was not floored, and during the night the Keas worked and broke loose one side of the wire netting and two Raccoons got into the Keas compartment and escaped by burrowing. Immediately this became known a thorough search was made, but without success. A reward of five pounds each has been offered for their capture, dead or alive.
In 1905 Rotorua was the scene of a hunt for two escapees. Two raccoons broke free from their enclosures with the help of the neighbouring kea, who probably recognised kindred spirits. A reward of Β£5 was offered for their capture.

"If you're interested in deeply funny and searing poetry regarding non binary lesbianism, you will love this book.
Oh and like they have a classics degree and make fun of old dead philosophers if you're into that" (which I super am lbr)
This book is playful, frank, queer, funny, raunchy, smart, cerebral: the voice here is both preternaturally wise and disco dances with the dawn chorus. If you want philosophy in your WhatsApp chat, axolotl dreams in your Uber, or to remember the early freefall of love, this one is for you.
