Hello

And welcome to my website. I’m a performance poet and teacher educator working in New Zealand schools. I’m a wholehearted advocate of Poetry for Literacy – because poetry brings words and the world alive, in ways that only poetry can. Poetry has the power to make literacy exciting, fun and indisputably cool. Latest news…Updated 03/07/10.
