Poem: Reading Poems In Hawke’s Bay About Writing Poems In Hawke’s Bay About Poems In Hawke’s Bay
I can’t write in Hawke’s Bay. In Hawke’s Bay I cannot write. I’d be better at visual art – someone could give me a pencil and I’d easily draw a blank – open to interpretation but that’s okay and it’s most certainly as it is – because it’s not okay in Hawke’s Bay to write […]Archive

Though I loathe the term ‘Bucket List’ I’ll use it here for shorthand and due to familiarity…I never quite realised that James Taylor would be a Bucket List Gig for me until it was announced that he was touring. I’ve been a fan forever – at first somewhat forced one me; the greatest hits albums […]Archive

Stubs: # 250 – Hawks vs. Huskies, Napier, 2019
Over the last few years I’ve got back into basketball – at first casually, and then with a lot more interest – even buying a ball and going back to shooting hoops and obviously I’m currently bereft because there’s not only no live basketball to get to (or watch on TV) but also I’ve finished […]Archive
