I am writing to you on behalf of Landing Press based in Wellington.
We are working on a collection of poems by migrants and refugee-background individuals living in New Zealand and want to invite you/your organisation to send us poems. And please help us spread the word about this great opportunity.
The only requirement is that the poems must be written by migrants or refugees, whether they have lived in New Zealand for a month or fifty years.
- You can send up to 3 poems.
- Email them to landingpresspoems@gmail.com. Include your name and phone number.
- Or you can post them to 97 Tireti Road, Porirua 5022. Include your name and postal address. (Keep a copy of your poem).
- Send us your poems by Monday,16 July.
A selection of poems will be published later in the year as a companion to a book of poetry on the themes of migrants and refugees, written by Adrienne Jansen and Carina Gallegos. Both books will be published by Landing Press. All writers whose work is included in the selection will receive a copy of the book.
Landing Press is a very small press, but we have a big vision. We believe that poetry is a powerful way in which our many voices can be heard.
