"spare, gorgeous memoir"


'Melissa Green is often called a “poet’s poet,” but this is a memoir that will haunt every reader — even those who have never read any poetry.' (Surely there aren't many of those in the world?)

So reads a new five-star review for Melissa Green's The Linen Way in San Francisco Book Review.


I heard this week that Martin Edmond, author of the essay Winged Sandals was awarded the (New Zealand) 2013 Prime Minister's Literary Award for non-fiction. The awards are made 'in recognition of outstanding contribution to New Zealand literature'. Congratulations, Martin!



Three new 10k ebooks are in production: three stories by Carolyn McCurdie; a short novella by Lynn Davidson, and an essay by H.T.R. Williams. I'll be introducing these three, if you don't know them already, over the next few weeks.
