A poet’s toolbox is filled with techniques to help them kick-start or rebuild a poem, but sometimes the tried and true tricks aren’t enough. How can poets engage with other forms of art and artmaking to challenge and reinvent how poetry is written? New Zealand Poet Laureate Chris Tse talks with Cadence Chung (Mad Diva), Gregory Kan (Clay Eaters), Jiaqiao Liu (Dear Alter), and Nina Mingya Powles (In the Hollow of the Wave) about how their creative pursuits and interests outside poetry shape and inform their latest collections.
Writers on Mondays is presented with the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, Circa Theatre and Phantom Billstickers National Poetry Day, and is supported by the Letteri Family.
