The Observer wrote, “these poets are in the forefront of attracting the new generation”. I shared the stage at festivals such as the biennial Edinburgh Book Festival and the London Arts Festival with luminaries Louis de Bernières and Iain Banks. My first collection of poetry sold out of two editions. “This book charts the evolution of a poet who is a throwback to the bards and minstrels of medieval times – a poet who takes poetry back to its oral roots without loss of seriousness, unlike the majority of ‘performance poets’ who are simply stand-up comedians who use rhyme.” Barry Graham, writer My poetry and short stories have appeared widely in anthologies, including Bleeding Hearts, Love Poems for the Nervous and Highly Strung (Allen & Unwin 1998), alongside poets such as Pablo Neruda, Alice Walker, Rainer Maria Rilke, D.H. Lawrence and e.e. cummings. I was publishing editor of London-based Gecko Press. One of its publications won the New Internationalist best first collection for 1999. https://www.jadereidy.co.nz/portfolio daily 0.75 2024-04-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6230247fbcb6fd543cd70b2a/8aec48a2-bff8-4353-9dab-869afc9f0fb2/Waitakere+Ranges+cover.jpg Portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6230247fbcb6fd543cd70b2a/d5ef4ddf-8069-4bdc-893f-3b84140f4db6/ASB+Community+Trust+cover.jpg Portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6230247fbcb6fd543cd70b2a/2adca2a0-c63d-409e-8187-66d0b8d10e97/100+years+of+Kowhai+cover+image.jpg Portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6230247fbcb6fd543cd70b2a/ceab70a9-dd10-4791-8656-1f532a6456bc/Not+just+passing+through+cover.jpg Portfolio https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6230247fbcb6fd543cd70b2a/b76b7f53-c302-4094-b0b1-bb51fb72d655/Journalism.jpg Portfolio - Journalism My feature writing has also been published in the South China Morning Post (Hong Kong), the NZ Listener, Sunday Star Times, NZ Herald, Next Magazine, Ingenio and Fringe Magazine. https://www.jadereidy.co.nz/memorial daily 0.75 2022-08-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6230247fbcb6fd543cd70b2a/696f600d-a614-451c-bfd0-cfaa7bc4f139/Little+Miss+Marg.jpg Memorial Little Miss Marg, Clarrie’s only child. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6230247fbcb6fd543cd70b2a/f3148570-9025-4c50-bc89-4399fbf14bc4/with+Annette+childhood.jpg Memorial With Annette Childhood https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6230247fbcb6fd543cd70b2a/e4d1d951-4239-4321-a775-b785c39bad51/Miss+Wgtn+Airport.jpg Memorial In 1959, at age 22, Margaret was a finalist in the Miss Wellington Airport competition.
