A poem of hers is spray painted on a fence in Port Chalmers — at the invitation of the fence owner. As the incoming poetry editor for the Otago Daily Times, Winter’s job will be to shepherd others’ words out into the public eye, on page two of The Weekend Mix. As far as her own work goes, Winter rates the fence poem She, outside The Anteroom gallery, as a highlight among a long list of writing achievements. It is full of imagery from the natural world and indeed Winter says nature is a unifying principle in her work. But I don’t know if that necessarily makes for good creative work, in that I think work should keep evolving.
