Te Kaunihera Pukapuka o Aotearoa. 400,000 New Zealanders did not read a book last year. We want more New Zealanders to read more. We want to grow a nation of readers. We run campaigns to encourage New Zealanders to read, research our reading habits and barriers to reading, and advocate for the importance of reading.

Who knows what other travellers might not have set out with a wild surmise for these shores? Looking perhaps for Luca Antara; perhaps just for the day after tomorrow. Maybe, if all goes well, I might start a new site that reflects not so much a switch of interests as a development of certain preoccupations in new directions. My day job is at night. That must be the key.

A poetry page with reviews, interviews and other things. Submissions sought for haiku anthology. A tree in the centre of a corn field. The corn rising in its ranks like braided hair. To meet the lowest branches. A tree that has replaced at least twenty. Corn stalks with their divided leaves. Twenty golden cobs sweetly surrendered. Leaf sweep, the whole field given by.
