Heather McPherson (poet)
Heather Avis McPherson (28 May 1942 - 10 Jan 2017)[1] was a feminist poet who started New Zealand's first women's artist collective, and co-founded the first New Zealand feminist journal, Spiral. [2] [3] Spiral grew into a "floating imprint" used by autonomous women's groups across New Zealand to publish books by New Zealand women, including Kerri Hulme's Booker Prize-winning novel The Bone People (1984), and The House of the Talking Cat by J C Sturm (Jacquie Baxter, 1983).
