Phantom Billstickers and the Janet Frame Literary Trust Present: Scan the poster and hear the poet.


Rediscover New Zealand’s literary icon on her birthday, August 28th
_____________________________________________________________________________


 To celebrate Janet Frame's birthday, 28 August, Phantom Billstickers will be placing posters 
featuring her poem "Daniel" throughout New Zealand.
 Look for the posters starting on Saturday the 25th of August and scan the QR code with your 
smart phone to hear Janet Frame reading the poem.  Also look for a new book of short stories 
by Janet Frame, “Gorse is Not People: New and Uncollected Stories” launched on the 
15th of August. 

Phantom Billstickers loves Janet Frame.  Ms. Frame passed away in 2004 long before the 
era of the smart phone.  Now, a new generation of poetry lovers can hear her voice by 
connecting with new technology. A little bit of magic that.  We hope Janet would have liked it.
 Phantom Billstickers feels that QR Codes and other dynamic technology is the future of 
engaging people on the streets.
