The New Zealand Poetry Society is pleased to present Christchurch poet Bernadette Hall, currently teaching at Wellington's International Institute of Modern Letters. Like a number of New Zealand women writers, poet and playwright Bernadette Hall did not begin to publish until her 40s, but quickly cemented her reputation as one of the country's more distinctive poetic voices. She was the 1996 Burns Fellow at Otago University and in 2004 shared an Artists in Antarctica Fellowship with friend and collaborator, Dunedin artist Kathryn Madill. The author of nine poetry collections, her work has been published in a range of national and international anthologies. Hall was the 2006 Victoria University Writer in Residence and in 2007 held the Rathcoola Residency in Donoughmore, Ireland. (Book Council)

The evening starts with an open mic, and all visitors are welcome to contribute to this,
along with the regulars.
