Join us for an evening of poetry featuring six distinguished Aotearoa New Zealand poets at Central Stories Museum in Alexandra.

This special reading brings together some of New Zealand's most celebrated literary voices, including current New Zealand Poet Laureate Robert Sullivan and former Poet Laureate David Eggleton (2019-2022).

Also featuring are Michael Harlow (Prime Minister's Award for Literary Achievement in Poetry, 2018), along with local poets Bridget Auchmuty, Jillian Sullivan, and Richard Reeve.
