Congratulations to Siobhan Harvey, who recently received the 2021 Janet Frame Literary Trust Award for Poetry!
We are honoured to have had Siobhan's poems featured in 'Somewhere a cleaner'.
Here we have the lovely Rebecca putting our up-and-coming collection of poems, ‘More than a roof’, in order. More than a roof is a book about housing in Aotearoa. We are so excited to be releasing this book in just a few months’ time!
Today Aoteroa is celebrating @NZPoetryDay and at @LandingPressNZ we are celebrating the essential services we all depend on.
"Somewhere a poet
is cleaning a bathroom. Somewhere a cleaner
is writing a poem."

"The voices collected here remind us that cleaning isn’t just good for our health—sometimes it can be good for our soul."
