There's always so much to see, read and hear at Free Verse, which was held last weekend at Conway Hall, with great Poetry Cafe snacks popping up there too. A round of applause for the delicious dal!
This year I couldn't stay for long, but managed to catch eloquent readings by Pindrop Press poets, Liz Bahs, Marie Naughton and Lucy Wadham, and also Green Bottle poets Julian Stannard (witty narratives to warm the heart) and Caroline Davies' engaging feminist re-telling of Noah's Ark.
Great to see news of forthcoming titles from Paekakariki Press too... I'll be impatiently waiting to read these new collections from Ruth Wiggins, Isabel Bermudez, Sian Thomas and other poets I've yet to get to know.
