Landing Press is calling for poems about housing for its next collection.
"We want poems about every aspect of housing – owning, renting, homelessness, memories of houses, houses lived in in other countries, political, funny, nostalgic, painful," says Adrienne Jansen, Landing Press publisher.
"And we don't just want poems by experienced poets. We want poems from people who maybe have never written before but have a story to tell about housing. If you are a first-time writer, with a story to tell, keen to get involved, but in need of a little help getting started, please get in touch."
Adrienne says housing is a topical issue.
"Housing is a huge issue in New Zealand. It has an impact on everyone. And although much has been written on housing, we believe poetry is a great way of giving new insights – a fresh look into worlds many of us don't normally see."
