An evening of poetry with readings from five of
New Zealand’s finest poets.
National Poetry Day, Friday, 22
August 2014. 6.30 pm
FREE event at the Gus Fisher Gallery, 74
Shortland Street, Auckland.
In 2014 Divine Muses brings together some of New Zealand’s finest poets
for this it’s 11th
evening reading of poetry on National
Poetry.
Chris Tse, Bob Orr, Riemke Ensing, Peter Bland, Siobhan Harvey & Rosetta Allan (MC)
Each poet will read a selection of poems from
recent and past collections.
Towards the end of
the evening the finalists of the 2014 NEW VOICES – Emerging Poets competition
will be announced and the winner will read their selected poem.
It is both rare for a poet to read one’s poetry
aloud to an audience as it is for an audience to hear poetry read and events
such as National Poetry Day that encourage reading and listening to poetry
should be encouraged.
We look forward to seeing you at this year’s
Divine Muses evening.
