All Tomorrow's Poets was a unique and exciting event, showcasing
cutting-edge New Zealand poetry and situating it in the context of
Aotearoa New Zealand’s literary history.
Ten poets read their own work alongside a New Zealand poem which they have found inspirational.
We were completely overwhelmed with our turnout, there was such a great feeling of celebration and enthusiasm in the air. With each poet only having five minutes each, the event was fast paced, fresh and completely enthralling.
A HUGE thank you to:
National Poetry Day for your generous contribution to our evening.
Steve and Greg - for coordinating poets, plastic cups and ice, for reading, MCing and generally being awesome.
