In a conversation chaired by UC Professor of English Paul Millar, Burt and Barrowman will discuss work by a range of poets from New Zealand and elsewhere, look at ways to gain New Zealand poetry a greater international readership, and also think about how contemporary poetry travels—or does not travel—between nations and across oceans. Come and have a drink and listen in to what is sure to be a lively discussion for all poetry lovers.
