Seraph Press author Vivienne Plumb has just been announced as one of next year's Randell Cottage fellows. Vivienne's most recent publication is The Cheese and Onion Sandwich and other New Zealand Icons: Prose Poems, which was published in October.

The Randell Cottage in Thorndon, Wellington, hosts two visiting writers each year; one from France and one from New Zealand. Vivienne, who will take up the fellowship in July, will use the time to research and write a novel with political themes, which is set in Wellington.
