Somewhere a Cleaner (Paperback)

Paperback. Somewhere a cleaner Poems by cleaners from around New Zealand During the Covid-19 pandemic, we've all been thinking about essential services. Including cleaning. Cleaning is universal. It's steeped in tradition and culture. It's essential, it's ordinary and it's surprisingly poetic. Somewhere a cleaner captures the spirit, the highs and the lows, of this occupation that often falls below the radar. The poems range across hospitals, offices, marae, clocks, schools, boat hulls, sneakers and more. The poets themselves, a mix of novice and established writers, are equally diverse. Through songs, rhymes, deeply insightful poems and poignant small stories, this anthology gives a voice to a profession both invisible and indispensable.
