Tuesday Poem and all that Hoopla

Tuesday Poem this week features the new poetry series HOOPLA and in particular one of the HOOPLA poets Helen Rickerby. Her Mākaro Press publisher Mary McCallum is the TP hub editor this week, so she has chosen Helen and her poem Symbols that make up the breaking girl. The poem appears in Helen's new collection Cinema. 

Cinema is one three books launched with the new HOOPLA series - the other two are: Bird murder by Stefanie Lash and Heart absolutely I can by Michael Harlow. Mary talks about the success of HOOPLA series which launches three poets at the same time: a new poet, and a mid-career and late career poet, and aims to attract poetry readers with its pocketable, vivid books with strong themes.
