The Stars like Sand – an anthology of Australian and New Zealand poetry due for release early 2014 will include her poem Graffiti Trees
Mercedes sends a big thank you to all the editors who have shown their faith in her – so very strange that only one of them is a Kiwi. Oh well, I guess that makes her an international poet.
She knows a month like this will never happen again! It’s all downhill from here …
