National Poetry Day w/ Erica Stretton: August 18, 2023

Aotearoa's National Poetry Day is coming up next week on August 25th! 

Established back in 1997, this is the national celebration of the Aotearoa poetry scene, seeing performances, workshops, and exhibitions take place across Tāmaki Makaurau and the nation as a whole. 

To learn more about what’s coming up this year, I had a yarn with organiser Erica Stretton to learn about what to expect.
