It’s been raining in Wanaka for two days, so we’re guessing everybody’s been doing quite bit of writing. Good timing, because two months have gone by we’re due another Poetic Justice Open Mic session next week.
The theme is WORDS & ART. Got anything visual to share? Bring it along! But, as usual, we’re a fairly relaxed lot, so feel free to ignore the theme and read anything you’d like. Best poem as voted by the audience wins a stylish prize from Wanaka Beerworks.
WHEN: Sunday, 9 September @ 4pm
WHERE: Federal Diner, Helwick Street, Wanaka

Poetic Justice for all!
JUSTICE FOR ALL
The project: Seven poets, 14 poems each. Seven individually-numbered books. Each poet puts two poems in each book, decorated as he or she sees fit.
The outcome: Seven one-off poetry collections showcasing some of the best work from our Poetic Justice regulars.
The Poetic Justice Justice for All books are complete, and on a recent winter’s evening we gathered to draw numbers out of a hat (or was it a tea cosy?) and take home our unique copies, stitched, signed and ready to read.
Thanks to Simon King for designing and producing the beautiful books, and to the participating poets for their words: Jan Kelly, Gwenda Rowlands, Annabel Wilson, Laura Williamson, Simon King, Libby Paulin and Liz Breslin.
Gwenda, Jan, Simon and Annabel checking out the goods
Seven books, 14 poems each: that’s 98 poems, dontcha know.
Not one of these books is quite like the other
Liz couldn’t make it, but she was in us in text!
