Funny Weather: Art in an Emergency - essays on art and politics, interviews with other writers, love letters to her favourite artists. it’s brilliant, as is everything Laing writes.

anything & everything she’s touched. evocative, literary, personal, critical, artistic. reading their words feels like falling into a long, lazy river or discovering the truth of the secret garden or connecting immediately, instantly with a stranger or finding peace in solitude

actions & travels: how poetry works

By Anna Jackson Reading this book is like sipping on the most perfectly steeped cup of peppermint tea. Very grounding. It honestly changed how I read, and how I think about what I read. I took my time reading the book over a few months, and scribbled a whole journal full of poems in the process. The author is from New Zealand so she references a lot of contemporary kiwi poets!
