A request to the literary community in New Zealand to help Christchurch and Canterbury

Words for Christchurch

Richard Liddicoat, Christchurch City Libraries
I’m writing to ask the literary community in New Zealand to help Christchurch and Canterbury.

http://cclblog.wordpress.com/2011/03/19/christchurch-words-can-not-explain/

AS you know, scores of people have died. Landmarks and icons are dust. Our cherished city has been battered and broken.

We will rebuild, but have a long road ahead. We know our situation could be worse, but we need you to help sustain us as we move on.

Please, write some words for Christchurch. Inspire us, encourage us, humour us, delight us, surprise us. Help us keep our sanity, and our perspective.

Send contributions to richard.liddicoat@ccc.govt.nz, and we’ll publish them on our blog at http://cclblog.wordpress.com/
