WRITERS ON MONDAYS


waha / mouth : Hinemoana Baker
Join us to hear 2014 Victoria University/Creative New Zealand Writer in Residence Hinemoana Baker in conversation with Chris Price. Baker will talk about and read from her brand new book of poems, waha / mouth, as well as giving us a preview of work in progress, a book about her own experiences of involuntary childlessness and her father's traumatic experiences in a Nelson orphanage. She will discuss how retelling her father's story is a way to acknowledge the painful past, and to move on with grace.
Copies of waha / mouth will be available at the event for the special price of $20 (CASH ONLY).
Writers on Mondays is presented with the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, the New Zealand Centre for Literary Translation, and National Poetry Day.
