National Poetry Day on 26 August: Events in the Hutt and Wellington

National Poetry Day is coming up on Friday 26 August - two days after my new collection New Sea land is launched.

There are events all round the country, including a whole bunch in the Hutt Valley and Wellington.

I'm due to take part in three events on the day, the first two organised by New Sea Land publisher Mākaro Press:

• 12noon-1.15pm: Poets in the Park: A National Poetry Day Event: Glover Park, Ghuznee St Wellington
• 2pm-3.15pm: Buckets of Poets: A National Poetry Day Event: Bucket Fountain, Cuba Mall, Wellington
• 7.30pm-10pm: "Poems of the Season and the Land". This event, at St Mary's Church, 56 Woburn Rd, Lower Hutt (see map), features a great lineup of poets. Check out the poster below!

I'll have my new poetry collection New Sea Land available for sale at these events.
