Leanne started a year ago with a performance at the bookish Library Bar in downtown Auckland, a performance that led to three subsequent gigs.
She then helped judge the New Zealand Poetry Slam in Wellington in October 2011 & staged a poetry night at Gisborne’s own Poverty Bay Club in late December. This year she has flown to Auckland twice for two separate appearances and was guest artist in Wellington at the city’s Poetry in Motion event in June. Two further appearances are scheduled for August in Auckland at two separate events.visualizza meno
