Update on 13th Head

Ask and you shall receive an answer!

@starlajo very kindly pointed out that perhaps I could email 13th Head and ask them what it is all about. She's a smart cookie that one. I did, and Jim (who owns Phantom & 13th Head) responded with some info about these posters, and better yet, photos of the launch!

This is what Jim had to say about 13th head (I figure that he can say it more eloquently than I):

We are printing and placing poem posters in 13 centres thru' NZ for six months. We are also placing poem posters in Nashville, Tennessee and Sydney, Australia and Paris, France. Six poets will be featured each month. Our next round will be launched in Christchurch on Janet Frame's birthday at the end of August.

We had a launch last week at the Wellington Seafood market you mention. They kindly loaned their premises (walls) to us. This opening was officiated by Michele Leggott the outgoing Poet Laureate.

So there you go. Very cool idea, great poems, and more amazing street art for Wellington! Awesome.
