Poetry Day Event
Poetry of the River and the Hills

Would you like to be part of a line up of writers reading their poetry at a special event for Poetry Day?  If so I would love to hear from you.  The theme of the event will be Poetry of the River and the Hills -Poetry that reflects our natural environment.

My plan for the evening is to begin with local writers reading their poetry, then move on to an open mic time for poets in the audience. There will also be a poetry wall for poetry written on the theme. 
Many unique and vibrant voices make up New Zealand Poetry.  And much of our poetry is influenced by our environment.  One of the aims of Poetry Day is to encourage new and emerging writers and to widen interest in New Zealand writing.  The event will be publicised as part of al NZ Poetry day.

If you have already written poetry inspired by the landscape or if you would like to write some and be part of our line up let me know.  This could also be an opportunity to have your books on sale. Alternatively come and enjoy the evening and bring some poetry for the open mic or the poetry wall. Write about whatever inspires you – the river, the bush, the harbour.

Time:  From 7.30pm – 9.30pm
Date: Friday 30th July 2010

 Where:  At St Marks Wholeness and Wellness Centre, St Marks Church, 28 Woburn Road, Lower Hutt (Over the Road from the Hutt Library)

Cost:  Entry by gold coin. We will have a creative and fun evening.  Drinks and cake provided. Poetry books will be on sale and there will be samplers of New Zealand Poetry available.

Hope to see you then.
