Stories and Inspiration from Lived Experiences
The form of the poem reminded me of the ‘beat’ poets movement in the US…enjoyed it…thanks.
Thank you for visiting and for leaving your thoughts. I appreciate it. It’s great to see the connection between the NZ poets here in NZ and the U.S poets. One of the guest judges for the event will be from the U.S. which is exciting. Have a fab weekend! God bless xox
Hi – I am keen to get in touch with Grace and Jai, as a couple of young people I took to the Poetry Slam are really interested in getting access to a couple of the poems performed on Saturday, as they really identified with the words. Do you or anyone else know how I could get in contact with them?
Thanks!
