Good news at last!
After the reported deaths of Arthur C Clarke and Anthony Minghella were clouding the day, it was nice to receive an e-mail from ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
catsparx that sent a sharp beam of sunlight through the clouds making everything so much, much better. Cat wrote to inform me that a mutual friend of ours(who we haven't seen in ages) has won New Zealand's richest literary award.
Well done, David Beach!
David is a wonderful poet (there are some samples of his work in a review of Abandoned Novel) and well deserves the accolade (and the money!)
(Of course, it's going to be difficult to contact him as I remember him shunning computers - an old fashion phone call may have to suffice.)
Here's his poem Parachute -from the Best New Zealand Poetry 2003
