Hello All,
I’m writing you all this note on a crisp, autumnal, bluebird Aotearoa–New Zealand morning. I hope this message finds you all well, wherever you may be on this beautiful green-blue planet.
I’ve just published a new book, Wading in Jandals: Fly Fishing in Aotearoa, on bennysip.com, and I’d love for you to check it out. The book was recently featured on April Vokey’s Anchored Podcast. You can listen to our conversation here or on Spotify. Our chat has received super positive feedback as we cover a range of topics, including football (soccer) development, the poetry writing process, flow-state theory, and, of course, fly fishing in New Zealand.
If you haven’t read Butterfly or A River Runs yet, you can also purchase them on bennysip.com. I’m nearly finished with Perception: Reflections on Water—another collection of poetic prose I think you’ll enjoy and soak up.
I've also got a feature piece coming out soon in the summer issue of The Fly Fish Journal, "The World’s Best and Coolest Fly Fishing Publication."
Sending you all my very best wishes, filled with Only Love. And send me a bloody letter. I'd love to hear from you.
Benny Sip
