Lesley Watkins

Living on the Kāpiti Coast, Lesley likes to use the environment as a backdrop to her poetry. She is a wife, mother and grandmother, and she has a background in social science. Her interest is in social justice, equality and the environment, joining both the physical and emotional pathways. Her poetry represents these aspects of life.

Lesley has a pet chinchilla.
You’ve found the lie!
Lesley studied social science.
This is true.
Lesley recycles.
Sorry, this isn’t a lie.
