The places in Annabel Hawkins' poems are close at hand or within sight of the horizon, at the border between study and first jobs and whatever comes next, in a city that for now for better or worse is home. She ticks off the places she finds herself: Thorndon Pool, Salamanca Road in Kelburn, the back roads of taki, Fiji. And from time to time longs to be elsewhere. But Annabel comes to realise that there's a time for going and a time for staying put, and home can also be a feeling.alice and bel This must be the place is a rich collaboration between two Wellington friends: Annabel who wrote the words, and her friend Alice who designed the place to put them.
