The New Zealand Poetry Society presents Nelson poet Mark Raffills.

Words have been Mark Raffills' stock-in-trade for over 30 years. Whether scribbling dispatches from the famine-stricken Horn of Africa or penning reviews of rock albums, the Nelson based poet, publisher, journalist, columnist and publicist has crafted text as though his life - and the lives of others - depended on it. But it has never just been about words on paper or text on screen.

Mark has performed his poems at concerts and festivals around the country for the past dozen years.

Raffills' ear for spoken rhythms and love of the live gig has been fuelled by a parallel career as a concert and event promoter, band and night club manager, youth worker and former jug band musician. Such diversity provides fertile soil for a poet's musings.

The event is open to the public.
