On this run I was carrying Poem Posters by four or five New Zealand Poets. The poems were by Hilaire Campbell, Michele Leggott, Campbell McKay, Geoff Conchrane, and Janet Frame. I'm always proud to do this.

The day was very pleasant as I set off from Lambertville, New Jersey and up I-95 to Princeton. The trip takes about thirty minutes. Princeton is a beautiful town. The main street (Nassau Street) is good and wide and is dominated by the University. The town somehow just feels open and like there's a good, clean breeze blowing through it.

It's been a long winter and Nelson is ready to party. The annual Nelson Arts Festival, now in it's 15th year, bursts onto the streets next week (Oct 16) with the Port Nelson Masked Parade, the curtain raiser to 12 days of theatre, music, dance and community events.

Nelson City Council Festival Producer Sophie Kelly says presales of tickets have hit record levels.

"There's a real air of excitement about the festival," she said. "It could be a reaction to winter and its grim economic news or maybe it's just the fantastic programme we have put together!"
