26 February, National Library

If you are free in Wellington next week, you might consider attending the above event.  Sadly I will be deep-sunk in the first week of term and not able to travel.

See also the summary of the event from one of its presenters, the poet laureate Michele Leggott.

Listen to the title poem of this entry, one from the Houses by the Sea sequence, read here by Helen Morse.

Oh, this looks great, I’m there. I’ll be recognisable by the cut of my clothes and the smell of my cologne. Alternatively, I’ll be the guy who looks exactly like me.

I hope you enjoy it! Many of the poems in the HBTS sequence are set in South Wellington.
