Three extraordinary poets introduce their new collections, books of poetry brimming over with feeling and taut with intellectual curiosity. Amy Marguerite (over under fed), Sophie van Waardenberg (No Good), and Emma Barnes (IF WE KNEW HOW TO WE WOULD) talk with Anna Jackson about the conditionality of rapture, the loveliness of loneliness, the difficulty of living in a hungry body, and how it has felt to keep writing through a pandemic, heartbreak and grief, and why it matters to make space for metaphor and memory, for sparrows and bees and a guinea-pig, eating a dandelion, its mouth full of gold.
ADMISSION IS FREE—ALL WELCOME
Writers on Mondays is presented with the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, Circa Theatre, Meow and Phantom Billstickers National Poetry Day and supported by the Letteri Family.
