David Merritt is a director at landroverfarm press, the worlds smallest publishing empire at Strangely Beautiful Things Press. He possess expertise in social media, creative writing, editing, research, teaching and 2 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "David Merritt writes with an analytical wit that is both kindly and acerbic in well crafted and well metered portions. He calls in an audience of his own making that sits comfortably within organizations' arts requisites in relation to community and literary facility and yet keeps true to new audiences always bridging by traveling and direct approach. His work is found in small business outlets, design stores clothing shops, and on mantlepieces and bookshelves all over both Islands of Aotearoa. By using the reconstructed book, his own printing press of a type, and his clever poignant deceptively simple poems, he earns his way by his art, and reaches a wide and more diverse audience probably than any other New Zealand poet today.
