About Me

Tagline
Tusiata
Me, Myself, and I
After many years on the run from the sheriff and his deputies am now living in Christchurch. My spectacular daughter (Sepela born 26 07 07)has somehow made the dreaded Christchurch vaguely livable! My main project at the moment is being a mother - which is better than a Saharan desert trek or riding through the wild west on a mule or waking up next to Julio Igleisias, or eating a pavlova in the dark. Basically it's better than most things I can think of. When I'm not thinking about how fabulous my child is I'm continuing to be a poet and performer and occasional traveller - now with baby in tow. Or watching daytime tv. Generally pretty damn happy to be alive.
Music
Can listen to most stuff except thrash metal or that awful computer generated best appreciated when off your face on synthetic drugs stuff.
Films
Dumbo was the first movie I ever saw - in a circus tent for some reason. Bambi and Fantasia were not long after - I guess you could say I like 'retro'. Can someone explain why this is important?
Sports
Nothing that involves men running round a field with a ball. Infact nothing that involves men running, riding, driving or any way moving around any kind of space with or with out any kind of object. Pretty much the same with women too.
Scared Of
My dark side. Which I also secretly love.
Happiest When
With my daughter - while on the back of a camel riding through the Sinai desert, writing poetry (dictated to my Bedouin secretary on the camel beside me) on the way to perform for Saudi Arabian royalty who as a matter of course will shower me with money, gold and middle eastern pavlovas.
Obsessions
Sepela. Travelling - next stop Florence 08 ...

    Hui - aloha mai oe i kela moku - well actually wherever you might be at. Still in Hawaii but looking at changing islands by year's end - Tahiti this time - maybe a brief stint at home to fix paper-work, because want to live there for a very long while - it's been almost nine years here. How's the writing? Life? I hear you had a baby in quite the unconventional fashion - is that true - FASCINATING. Hoping my friend Dianna Fuemana comes in August as Writer in res here - need some uitlander humour - Poly-style - people don't understand it too well here...anyways, just dropping in, to say ALOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHA.
