Jill Chan live

Jill Chan will be hitting the stage at the Grand Central Bar - that's 126 Ponsonby Rd - at eight o'clock on Tuesday week - that's the 29th, Muzzlehatch - to read her poetry to an audience of adoring fans, plus anybody else who wants to turn up. Support act is Bronwyn Bryant.

Here's a sample of Jill's work, taken from her blogsite Navel Orange:

Evening

When evening comes,
we take our glasses,
break them,
sweep up the shards
to break again
tomorrow.
