Tuesday Poem: Brian Turner and the stuff of grief

Award-winning NZ Poet Brian Turner is at the Tuesday Poem hub this week with his poem Fisherman.

It is selected by Emma McCleary of NZ Booksellers who writes of the grief Turner so economically and movingly describes - hers and the families of the Pike River Miners.
And there are many more poems besides in the live blog roll including a mining poem on Catherine Fitchett's blog, and poems by Michele Amas on losing adult parents, Janis Freegard on not doing the housework and John Keats in a post entitled 'Foot Fetish'.
More poems as the day winds on.
