Podcasts about Hera Lindsay Bird

In this episode of Bad Diaries Podcast, Tracy talks with arts festival founder and director, arts events maven, book reviewer, books editor, essayist and novelist Claire Mabey about a life in the arts, the wisdom of teachers, and the transportive power of reading.Claire's debut novel, The Raven's Eye Runaways, was published only two months ago, and is already making its mark, flying out across the book world. Hera Lindsay Bird called it “powerfully atmospheric” and “immersive”; Elizabeth Knox says it's “sparky and spooky, humorous and luminous”. We dive inside the book, to talk about its origins, its inspirations, the process of writing it.Claire Mabey co-founded Verb Readers and Writers Festival (initially as LitCrawl), Lōemis festival, and event organising and production outfit Pirate & Queen. More recently, Claire's taken on the role of Books Editor for The Spinoff. In the podcast, we talk about what it is, what it means, and what it takes to make a life in the arts.Claire reflects on her diarymaking practice – kickstarted by teacher Lyn Fothergill who encouraged 10-year-old Claire to start keeping a journal; “I started being a writer in her class” – and different ways (increasingly digitised) of diarising a life.As literary director of Verb festival, Claire first took a chance and booked Bad Diaries Salon for LitCrawl back in 2018, establishing what's become our longest running festival collaboration – we've held Bad Diaries Salon at Meow bar for LitCrawl 6 years in a row, so far, and counting. We're delighted to embed Claire's connection with Bad Diaries, by welcoming her to the podcast.Find full show notes for this episode on the Bad Diaries Salon website baddiariessalon.com, or get in touch via Instagram or Facebook – we're @baddiariessalon everywhere.Thanks for joining us for Bad Diaries Podcast!

Hera Lindsay Bird has been writing the extremely popular Help Me Hera advice column for over a year now, offering incisive, funny and wise guidance to New Zealand's biggest and smallest problems. And soon, you'll be able to hear her talk about that advice at some Spinoff live events. Hera joins Madeleine Chapman this week as she's also an Olympics obsessive and has written about the games, specifically which events should be culled and which should be added. It's surprisingly reasoned and justified for such a hot take. Help Me Hera Ten sports we should cut from the Olympic programme (and what could replace them)

Hera Lindsay Bird crafts poetry full of dazzling wordplay, rich observations, and insanely hilarious jokes. She also answers the question; What do poets do, exactly?

The Spinoff have recruited one of New Zealand's best and funniest writers to be their resident advice columnist. Hera Lindsay Bird is well known for her poetry will now be helping readers with their problems.

Hera Lindsay Bird is a poet from New Zealand. Her first poetry collection, also called Hera Lindsay Bird, was published in July 2016 by Victoria University Press and quickly sold out its first print run. A UK edition was published in November 2017. In August, when Bird was in Edinburgh to take part in the Edinburgh International Book Festival, she found time to come down to the Scottish Poetry Library. While in the Library, she spoke about hating wisely, what it's like when a poem goes viral, and why sentiment is nothing to be scared of.

Anna Jackson has six books of her poetry to her name, but her latest Actions & Travels focuses on the work of others. Rather than an academic textbook, Actions & Travels explores how poetry works through the discussion of 100 poems, ranging from the ancient Roman poet Catullus, through to the Romantics like Samuel Taylor Coleridge and on to many distinct contemporary New Zealand voices - among them Hera Lindsay Bird and Jenny Bornholdt. Jackson is a writer and academic who teaches English literature as an Associate Professor at Victoria University of Wellington. She is currently in residence at the Sargeson Centre in Auckland, having been awarded a 2022 Grimshaw Sargeson Fellowship.

In episode 25 we discuss Anne Garreta’s Sphinx.Published in 1986 in France before being translated in 2015 into English, Sphinx is the tale of two lovers in Paris. The narrator, a scholar turned DJ and A*** a dancer. The plot is straightforward enough, two people meet, the fall in love, there is a tragic ending. What makes Sphinx more compelling is the linguistic constraint that slowly reveals itself in the English translation and is confirmed in the translators note, for Sphinx is genderless.Show Notes:Sphinx by Anne Garreta: https://www.kenyonreview.org/reviews/sphinx-by-anne-garreta-738439/State of Desire: An interview with Anne Garreta: https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2017/12/11/states-of-desire-an-interview-with-anne-garreta/Sphinx by Anne Garreta: https://therumpus.net/2015/06/sphinx-by-anne-garreta/Sphinx: https://bombmagazine.org/articles/anne-garr%C3%A9tas-sphinx-translated-by-emma-ramadan/Recommendations:Neve:Monica by Hera Lindsay Bird: https://www.google.com.au/amp/s/thespinoff.co.nz/books/13-05-2016/the-friday-poem-monica-by-hera-lindsay-bird/%3fampAnthropocene Pastoral by Cathetine Pierce: https://aprweb.org/poems/anthropocene-pastoralKirby:Fleabag: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5687612/City of Trees by Sophie Cunningham: https://www.readings.com.au/review/city-of-trees-by-sophie-cunninghamFi:How to Rest: Chronic Illness and Finding Joy in Small Days by Millie Baylis: https://www.killyourdarlings.com.au/article/how-to-rest/These bodies will undo us by Laura Price Steele: https://www.pshares.org/issues/winter-2018-19/these-bodies-will-undo-us-emerging-writers-contest-winner-nonfictionContact Us:Twitter: @litcanonballInstagram: @literarycanonballFind us on Facebook at Literary Canon BallEmail: literarycanonball@gmail.com
