In October last year, Urban Driftwood was published. It’s a collection of poetry and prose by four young Wellington writers. I’m one of them, so is Dan of Freshly Ground foodblog infamy, and we get away with applying the word “young” because the writing is a decade or more old.*
And now you can download it free.
I wrote in the blog post linkied above, “The collection is a nice blend of voices, which was always Dan’s intent – he, Jane and Stephen all bring distinctive rhythms and styles and they balance each other well. Jane’s meditative simplicity, Stephen’s shaggy-dog shrugs of tone, Dan’s thoughtful density and my whatever. I am pleased to say that it lives up to Dan’s initial hope that we four writers together would be more than the sum of our parts.”
Its up for sale in hardcopy on Lulu, and we’ve added a free .pdf download. Go get it. Read my angst. I dare you.
* Yep, this project was in Dan’s to-do list for a looong time. Much respect for people who keep things on their to-do list for a decade and then actually do them.
