Claudia’s Reviews

Claudia likes to have a few books on the go at once, and one of them is usually a poetry collection. Her areas of special interest include classical antiquity, contemporary poetry, classic fiction, the ecology of Aotearoa, crafts, the occult and vegetarian cooking. Though always on the hunt for information, a book with a bit of humour is her ideal read. She loves reading about imperfect people, animals, the psychology of interpersonal relationships, the land of Aotearoa and our relationship with it. Some of her favourite authors are Wendy Cope, Anne Carson, Tusiata Avia, Rebecca K Reilly, Elena Ferrante, Donna Tartt, Douglas Adams, Rebecca Hawkes and George Orwell.
