Tuesday Poem is up and running again after a summer break
with Christchurch poet Helen Jacobs featured.
A New Zealand initiative
set up by Wellington writer and publisher Mary McCallum and Dunedin artist and
writer Claire Beynon, Tuesday Poem turns four this year.
It is a group of 30 poets from around the English-speaking
world who 'gather' at a blog called Tuesday Poem. As part of they group, they
post poems each week by themselves and poets they admire. At the centre is a
weekly hub poem which you can find here:
All poems are posted with permission of the poets and are
visited by thousands of readers and writers worldwide each week.
The first hub poem for 2014 is EASTBOURNE by Helen Jacobs
who features in Eastbourne:
an anthology and who launched the book published by the new
Måkaro Press just before Christmas last year. Helen Jacobs is her writing name
— as Elaine Jakobsson, she was once the mayor of Eastbourne. As hub
editor for this week, Mary McCallum, says of Helen's poem:
For
all who live here it is a taonga — a gift — something to return to as much as
the place itself — and the perfect ending to this book of place.
