First poem

From Afternoons, 1:10 pm on 25 May 2017

This year marks the 20th anniversary of National Poetry Day, so today instead of a first song, we're having a first poem. A new poetry anthology has just been release the 20/20 Collection - 40 poems by New Zealand poets to mark the anniversary.

National poetry day falls on the last Friday in August.

Among the contributors to the book is Wellington poet Jenny Bornholdt who reads us her poem, Becoming Girl.
