Kia ora koutou,
Chris Tse and Rebecca Hawkes upped expectations for book launches at Meow last night. Chris Tse’s new book is Super Model Minority. Rebecca Hawkes’ debut collection of poetry is Meat Lovers. Sam Elworthy (AUP) and Pip Adam introduced the collections. Cadence Chung and Rebecca K Reilly read from Chris and Rebecca’s work. Chris and Rebecca finished the night with a reading from Rob Zombie’s 1998 poem, “Dragula”. Truly a forgotten classic.
Mā te wā,
Tara
Other taracomics stuff:
I have a comic poem in No Other Place To Stand: An Anthology of Climate Change Poetry from Aotearoa, edited by Rebecca Hawkes, Essa Ranapiri, Jordan Hamel and Erik Kennedy. It’s an impressive collection and available for pre-order from AUP.
