The finalists in the NZ Book Awards' Poetry category are posted on Tuesday
Poem this week in celebration of National Poetry Day this
coming Friday - three great poems from three great writers: Dinah Hawken, Anna
Jackson and Rhian Gallagher, selected by Andrew M. Bell.
And Tuesday Poem also farewells the great Margaret Mahy who died in
Christchurch yesterday: the linked Booksellers NZ blog has posted The Fairy Child as
a tribute to a remarkable writer who has touched so many around the world. In
the sidebar of Tuesday Poem, there are 30 poets with poems posted on a Tuesday
that they've written themselves or selected - and there are, as you'd expect,
some tributes there too for Mahy. Definitely worth a visit.
