Meet Miss Dust

I'm delighted to announce the imminent publication of Miss Dust, the third collection by fabulous and original poet Johanna Aitchison. 

Behold the front cover, featuring a painting, The Gardening Queen, by Wairarapa artist Janie Nott.

Don't be fooled by such a bright and happy cover though, the poems in Miss Dust are far from frothy. There is a lightness and humour to her poetry, which serves to leaven the dark truths in some of the poems. 

I've followed Johanna's poetry for years, from her first work in JAAM, and became a particular fan with her stunning second collection A Long Girl Ago (2007), which I particularly admired for its bold experiments with language, prompted by her time in Japan.

Miss Dust has been a few years in the making, and is worth the wait. It takes all the things I admired in A Long Girl Ago and twists them off into a new direction. I'm excited to be publishing it.

Launch invitation to follow!
