Today on Write Spot

Posted: Wednesday Mar 27, 2024

Listen to this special kōrero on ‘Write Spot with Dunedin UNESCO City of Literature' between Jeff Harford and Iona Winter.

Poet, essayist, storyteller and editor Iona Winter discusses her latest collection 'In the shape of his hand lay a river' (Elixir & Star Press Aotearoa New Zealand), which launches via Zoom on Easter Saturday.

Iona's work around suicide bereavement and grief is powerful and fearless. Written throughout the initial impact of her son's death, In the shape of his hand lay a river aims to challenge perceptions of suicide bereavement, and with an unashamed voice lend words to those who are unable to find them.

Copies of this limited-edition book are available for pre-sale. Please register your interest, for the launch or a copy at: books-elixirandstar@proton.me
