The Tuwhare Trust and the Dunedin Writers and Readers Festival Trust — New Partnership.

Over three events we deliv­ered a cel­e­bra­tion of Hone’s 100th year with a poet­ry nod to Hone’s crib at Kaka Point, a stonk­ing polit­i­cal poet­ry night at the pub & a poet­ry hari huri tau for Aotearoa’s Poet Lau­re­ate, Chris Tse.

Deep Riv­er Talk brought togeth­er poets from across Aotearoa and across gen­er­a­tions. Those who attend­ed expe­ri­enced some of our finest poets & some of our newest voic­es. Deep Riv­er Talk deliv­ered fresh, seer­ing, acti­vat­ed & reflec­tive poetry.

Keep an eye out for the 2025 Dunedin Writ­ers and Read­ers Fes­ti­val, we will be back to pro­vide you with anoth­er banger of a poet­ry weekend.
