Joining some great voices in contemporary literature from around the globe will be our own outstanding selection of local writers. New Zealand's first poet laureate Bill Manhire will search out exciting new poetic voices; Patrick Evans will delve into the imagined world of Janet Frame and Frank Sargeson; and join with fellow Christchurch writers Fiona Farrell and Jane Higgins for Christchurch Quakes: Changing Everything - a poignant session on writing and living through the Christchurch quakes. Also featured are some of our best emerging writers: Eleanor Catton, Hamish Clayton and Craig Cliff.
