The Winter Readings Are Back!

I was going to do a blog post about British turkeys voting for Christmas (or, to put it in Marxist terms from a bygone era, false consciousness), but it's too discouraging - and negative. So I  shall blog about something good instead!

After a hiatus of several years, the HeadworX Winter Reading Series is back! Albeit in cut-down form, because this year it's a single reading:

You are invited to a poetry reading:

Winter Readings 2016 – Poetry Gees

This year’s Winter Readings celebrates the

return of Winter Readings itself, a popular event at

the City Gallery in Wellington 2003-2008. Each

event featured a tribute to an album or group.

This year’s readings form a tribute to the Bee Gees.

Polina Kouzminova, Michael O’Leary and Jeanne

Bernhardt (Otago).

an anthology of poems by the readers featured to
