Global
Community of New Zealanders
From Brian Sweeney, producer www.nzedge.com
Greetings nzedge.com global community of
New Zealanders.
For some months we have been publishing
our newsletters weekly at http://www.nzedge.blogspot.com.
This will now become the regular nzedge.com newsletter, which has been
anything but regular. We usually publish 'Global Headlines' weekly, plus
monthly columns by contributors Kevin Roberts and Denis O'Reilly, an
editorial from myself when time permits, and edgy NZ books / music
recommendations (eg new Scribe album Rhyme Book and Peter
Snell's story by Garth Gilmour).
We'll keep the newsletters short and to
the point, inspirational and thought-provoking.
