The five Wairarapa-based poets
will be reading at free events at Carterton and Masterton libraries (at 10 and
12.15 am respectively), at Wairarapa College (2.05 pm - students only) and
Aratoi (7 pm) . They are Pat White, John Horrocks, Mary McCallum, Bronwyn White
and Jo Thorpe - all with published collections.
The poets hail from Cape
Palliser to Masterton and Pat White says they offer a surprising range of
poetry, 'We're reading poems ranging from the bucolic to the balletic, the
liturgical to the literary, the rhyming to the free. People are bound to find
something that appeals to them - and stimulates and moves them - maybe even
makes them laugh. Poetry is never what you think it'll will be. We're
encouraging people to come along for the ride and be prepared to be amazed.'
The poets are all practised
poetry performers, and promise fun and interactive events that will suit all
ages. And they say you should find out along the way what rhymes with
Wairarapa. For a sneak peek visit our Facebook page What Rhymes with Wairarapawhere poets and other word fiends have been offering
up suggestions.
And there's an events page for National Poetry Day too.

I know it's not actually a question, but a wily, wire-haired rapper from the Wairarapa would seem to fit the bill.
As the text generation say; just saying ... (yep, boring work day).
