I’ve loved every minute of being NZ Poet Laureate but it’s time to find the next one! Nominations are now open for a poet to take up the role from 2025-2028.

Check out the criteria and make your nomination at the National Library’s website: https://t.co/DdcogCCxi9

The amazing Randell Cottage Trust sadly did not secure funding from CNZ in the last round. Help them fund their next writer, if you can!

It's good to major in English, it's good to major in things like art history and French lit and medieval studies; it shows you're a curious person who finds worth in learning for more than just profit.

What does the author of one of the best books of 2024 wish for next year? https://t.co/YeTbJU5zQq

it's Jane Austen's 249th birthday and I hope you'll celebrate by taking a turn about the room, developing a passion for dead leaves, inadvertently falling in love with the last person you could ever be prevailed upon to marry.

Ok, so we get a puff piece from the NZ Herald today on how the Luxons will spend Christmas. Along with some very photoshopped photos. It's pretty tasteless, really, considering a lot of folks won't be having Christmas this year because of the actions of Luxons government.

Brian Turner's famous one-line poem seems more and more pertinent as the current government bumbles along:

NEW ZEALANDERS, A DEFINITION

Born here, buggered it up.
