Laurice Gilbert has had poems published in many journals, anthologies and magazines across 9 countries, after realising that she hated networking and didn't have the emotional resilience for the New Zealand literary circuit. She administered the NZ Poetry Society for a decade, has had three Pushcart Prize nominations, published two collections and was once shortlisted for the Bridport Prize.

I hear you singing in the next room

is the title of a poem I'll never write
for a book of poems I'll never shape
or a collection of stories I'll never tell
because I'll never hear you singing again
