Phantom Billstickers



Phantom Billstickers: Poetry on Posters Programme (2014)


Sorry for the long delays between posts on this site. I guess it's not much of an excuse, but I have been rather busy setting up a Poetry NZ blog for "views, reviews, interviews, and other news" about the magazine.

In the meantime, though, I did get quite a kick from seeing my very first poetry poster, from the Phantom Billstickers, "New Zealand's largest and finest street poster and street media company."

The plan is that they're going to produce a poster for each of the readers at "Poetry Central," the Auckland Central Library celebration of Poetry Day (which falls on Friday 22nd August - 5.30 for 6 pm - this year), and plaster them up all around the event. The above is my contribution to the festivities.

Here's the list of readers:
  1. Michele Leggott
  2. Makyla Curtis
  3. Murray Edmond
  4. Ya-Wen Ho
  5. Selina Tusitala Marsh
  6. Alice Miller
  7. John Newton
  8. Jack Ross
  9. Robert Sullivan
