About us

 

Two-bit Books is Emma Jensen and Hana Pōmare – two great friends – and Emma's dad John Jensen, the poet.

For as long as Emma remembers, John wrote poems – many of the early works were for Emma and her sister. Some years ago, when John moved house, Emma unearthed boxes of poetry – typed out, edited, reworked and stored.

Emma was working in the U.K. and left the boxes with Hana in New Zealand. Hana, who is a publisher, scanned them all and they began formulating a plan to make books.
