Her poetry has been published in New Zealand, Australia, India, Japan, England and America, as well as on-line.

Wow, Kirsten. I really like seeing your rengay verses as stand alone haiku, and the photos add another dimension for me. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Cara!
ReplyDeleteThe feather in this shot is from a wood pigeon ('keruru' in Maori) and it was found and given to me by my husband on our honeymoon. :)
