Fortune Cookies—weekend poetry reading
Here’s a video of my latest podcast episode, with 17 tiny poems, feather light. One might tell your fortune, so listen carefully. You’re invited to the launch of my new book, How To Be Old, at Unity Books, Wellington, on Tuesday 21 July at 12.30.
By the way, I did the drawings… while on a train to Paekakariki.
Thanks and praise to my donors who make it possible for me to do the work I love, and share it.
Love it Rachel – just the tonic I needed after discovering a tissue in the washing machine! Fantastic drawings – certainly a woman of many talents…thanks for posting….
Thank you Nyla — a tonic is exactly what I hope to be. Bummer about that tissue, ay?
Good luck with your book, Rachel!
Thanks Becky. So far so good, the first small edition has sold out.
Wow…that’s great!
Loved all of these Rachel and the drawings are getting very professional!
Thank you Peter! I’m laughing, though.
Thank you for visiting my blog and liking my Drawings post. Congratulations on your book.
My pleasure. And let’s keep on drawing.
I like these short poems much more than I enjoy haiku ones. I loved especially the do or don’t go into the woods. Reminds me of the teddy bear’s picnic. The story of their creation also pleased me.
Yes, haiku have constraints that can freeze their appeal. Oh yes, those teddy bears! Thank you for watching my videos, Elizabeth, and for all your support.
You are so welcome. I watched Friday on Monday, but they hit the spot nonetheless.
