About

Michael Hall grew up on a farm in the eastern Bay of Plenty. Carl Sagan’s TV series Cosmos and a few seminal Bruce Springsteen albums were formative. His poems explore and aim to capture place, memory, time, other lives. His favourite poet is usually whatever one he is reading at the moment, though Gerald Manley Hopkins us one that he wrangles with and returns to often.

He lives in Ōtepoti Dunedin, Aotearoa New Zealand.
