Writers on Mondays: Best New Zealand Poems 10

Each year an on-line anthology of 25 poems is published by the IIML under the title of Best New Zealand Poems. As a curtain raiser for National Poetry Day on July 22, we present 10 of the 25 poets whose work was chosen by last year’s editor, Chris Price, who is currently in Menton as the 2011 Katherine Mansfield Fellow. We welcome: Hinemoana Baker, Emma Barnes, James Brown, Kate Camp, Geoff Cochrane, Jennifer Compton, Anna Jackson, Anna Livesey, John Newton and Kerrin Sharpe.

Bill Manhire will chair this session.

Writers on Mondays is presented by the International Institute of Modern Letters and The Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa. These events are open to the public and free of charge.

Held in The Marae, 4th Floor, Te Papa.
