ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Sue Wootton is a lapsed physiotherapist and acupuncturist who lives in Dunedin. In 2003 she was awarded a mentorship under the NZSA mentor programme, and was shortlisted for the Lillian Ida Smith award. Her poetry has appeared in the NZ Listener, JAAM, Takahe, NZ Poetry, Bravado, Otago Daily Times and North and South. Work has been anthologised in NZ Poetry Society collections (2003 and 2004), and in the Dunedin anthology Under Flagstaff. Sue helps run ‘Upfront’, a monthly performance evening for women poets, and takes poetry workshops for kids – all of which is a whole lot more fun than physio!
