“ These poems pack deep punches... The result speaks eloquently of love, its damage and discovery.” Thank you for the review of ‘We Are Tiny Beneath The Light’ in today’s @nzherald Siobhan Harvey! @TheCubaPress @womensbookshop #nzpoetry #poetry #wearetinybeneaththelight

Writing a novel is very hard! So being long listed for this feels very special. @text_publishing @NZSocAuthors https://t.co/h6wwjcX1Uw

Still thinking about this wonderful @silotheatre show and how lucky we are to be able to experience live theatre in our corner of the world. #Everybrilliantthing #auckland #TheatresAreBack https://t.co/bRm8BeGtIP

[Heidi North @heidi9north]

Such a glorious show! #MaryPoppins at @CivicTheatreAkl last night @Theatreview #Auckalnd https://t.co/4NUeUrYDPb

[Heidi North @heidi9north]

Aucklanders! This show is a delight. ‘Still Life with Chickens’ on now at ASB Theatre. #ATC @Theatreview #aucklandtheatre https://t.co/P7bQCUrB1Y

This is grossly misleading. Yes, "only five" are associated with the community cluster. And the other nine *are in managed isolation and quarantine at the border*. Someone senior at NZME needs to have a serious word with the Herald website editors. Clicks aren't worth this.

@HamBookMonth @TheCubaPress Sounds great!

[Heidi North @heidi9north]

Happy #nzpoetryday! This time last year I was off to teach a poetry workshop at @HamBookMonth This year, in Auckland, in lockdown, I’m celebrating in solidarity online. This is the title poem from #wearetinybeneaththelight @TheCubaPress #poetrynz #poetry #poetryday2020

In my last set of tweets on @MatthewHootonNZ's armchair epidemiological reckons, I emphasised that he does not have the skills to analyse epidemiological data.

In his latest Herald piece, he unfortunately makes rookie mistakes again /1

It was v tricky to say why the scientists, the modellers, the public servants, health workers, teachers, supermarket workers, politicians, businesses, people denied tangi, funerals, weddings, and millions who made myriad other sacrifices did it, but suddenly clear now

[Heidi North @heidi9north]

What a class! Proud to be with you all @RCarlyleAuthor @sonyakwilson @AmyMcDaidNZ @RosettaAllan, led of course by @pjkmorris 💖#amwriting #readnz #amreading https://t.co/RpsYVpk84k

@sonyakwilson @AucklandWriting @AucklandUni @pjkmorris @RCarlyleAuthor @RosettaAllan @AmyMcDaidNZ @heidi9north It's so great to see Auckland/NZ authors doing so well!

[Heidi North @heidi9north]

💓 Couldn’t be prouder of you @RCarlyleAuthor or to be part of this fabulous cohort!

[Rose Carlyle @RCarlyleAuthor]

Lovely praise from my MCW teacher @pjkmorris. Shout out to @AmyMcDaidNZ @sonyakwilson @RosettaAllan @heidi9north and Pip McKay for being great classmates either in print already or soon to be published, and there are many more projects underway...

[Heidi North @heidi9north]

[Heidi North @heidi9north]

Lovely to get out to the theatre for the first time since pre-lockdown. And to revisit this play after first reading it 20 years ago! @thepumphouse #theatrenz #skylight #davidhare @Theatreview https://t.co/KDG7dv05Hv
