Kia ora koutou,
I went to “Poetry Idols” tonight at Unity Books Wellington - curated by Ash Davida Jane. This was originally meant to happen on National Poetry Day but, you know, covid.
Chris Tse, Freya Daly Sadgrove, Jordan Hamel and Sinead Overbye read poetry by their idols (Richard Siken, Hera Lindsay Bird, Hanif Abdurraqib and Tusiata Avia, respectively) and then the poetry they wrote in response. Caro DeCarlo also has work in the zine but couldn’t attend.
Mā te wā,
Nā Tara
