Review:

“Her poems touch on our kind of lives, our kind of thoughts – the wonder of our bodies and our sexuality; a revered and beloved Mother Nature; conscious environmentalism; our universal connection; the pitfalls of globalisation and capitalism; spirituality.

“as though a soul could be defined by he or she as though there was a line between you and me as if my veins don’t grow into roots of a tree as though my blood’s not a drop of water swimming sea”

She skilfully combines rhyme and rhythm, the political with the personal. Juxtaposing images of beauty alongside images of destruction – an underlying message that we need to hold onto our heart intentions, hold dear our Planet, our Mother. Rethink the messages we are constantly bombarded with and decide our new realities, a new future.

“So hold the sufferings of this world in your heart brother.  There’s a lot to fit in so you’ll have to expand.  And stand.  Stop the mines! Hold the lines!  Reject their mutated seeds!  Resist their currency!  Plant a garden, feed the community, save the bees let grow the weeds let go the whole concept of weeds!”  Reviewed by by Hannah Schenker.

Happyzine – using media as a social and environmental change tool – the new generation of media.

“My dream is that one day hundreds of thousands of people will wake up each morning and check out the latest inspiring news about our communities and the planet on Happyzine – stories of leadership, unsung heroes, heart warming environmental change, positive community progress and green innovation that had previously passed by untold, or un-noticed.  My dream is for Happyzine to help shape a positive, healthy future for our babies.  My dream is for positive inspiring news –  stories of hope, equality, perseverance, visionary change, generosity and positivity to become mainstream! If you can even afford $1 per week you would make a positive difference for Happyzine.  You’ll become a member of Club Happyzine (which means you occasionally get offered free eco-friendly stuff) and you’ll be helping  Happyzine keep pumping out these future shaping messages, every day.”
