FOR THE POET IN ALL OF US

FOR THE POET IN ALL OF US

From poetical apothecaries to a hip hop verse off, this year’s Festival is rich with poets from New Zealand and around the world. Poetry Idol, in which the audience has the final say on who wins, is always a sell-out event. This year’s Honoured New Zealand Writer, Vincent O’Sullivan, is known for his lyrical, erudite poetry which has won him multiple national awards. And the three finalists of the Sarah Broom Poetry Prize will be announced very soon!

There are limited places left in James Sheard’s Unlocking the Poetry Door and Chris Price’s Creative Collisions poetry workshops. Do hurry if you want to learn from two of the best bards around.
