An interview Paula did about The Baker's Thumbprint with Ruth Todd on the Bookenz show that runs on Plains FM is now available online: http://plainsfm.org.nz/on-demand/bookenz-July-16/. It follows an interview with Fiona Farrell – Paula's interview begins at 13 minutes in.
Paula reads some poems and talks about the collection, which she describes as 'an autobiography of my imagination'. She also talks about her Poetry Box blog and being an unofficial poetry ambassador for children.
It's a really lovely interview, and Ruth Todd and Morrin Rout, who run the Bookenz show, are such treasures to the literary world. They've been running this show for many years, and before that they ran a similar show on National Radio. My very first radio interview was with Morrin in 2001 – she in Christchurch and me in a studio in Wellington. These women deserve medals!
