A small hand-stitched book of
netball poems, 12 Netball Poems,
has been published by The Night Press, Wellington, New Zealand (an imprint of
HeadworX).
The book by The Night Press/HeadworX editor
Mark Pirie features poems on the Silver Ferns (Sandra Edge, Maria
Tutaia, Casey Kopua, Laura Langman and Leilani Read), the Netball World Cup
2015 and children’s netball poems.
It is dedicated to the author’s mother who
“played and enjoyed the game”.

An addenda by Napier poet Bill Sutton
comes in the form of a poem on Irene van Dyk, also reprinted from The
Wellingtonian newspaper.
