Dunedin Public Libraries | Kā Kete Wānaka o Ōtepoti
This issue we are thoroughly spoilt with poetry, welcoming the Decadent 10 for National Poetry Day, and a contribution from the sublime Ann Jacobson. We go retro for the classics with Bronwyn Wyllie-Gibb, raise the roof with live radio broadcasts for The Big Listen, and pack the rafters for Dunedin Family Day. Plus cosy conversations with rare book dealer Rick Gekoski, poets Diane Brown and Lynley Edmeades, and radio host Domi Angelo-Laloli.
If you haven't already done so, why not subscribe to NB online, and receive the latest issue automatically via email. We publish five issues per year in March, May, July, September and November.
