Poets' Night Out is a celebratory event for the NZ Poet Laureate David Eggleton. Celebrate and enjoy the spoken word.
David will be joined by guest poets Michael O’Leary (the Earl of Seacliff), Jenny Powell, and Kay McKenzie Cooke.
This is part of a very special literary event in Hawke's Bay — the presentation of the handcrafted tokotoko to the
current NZ Poet Laureate, which David will receive in a special ceremony earlier in the day at Matahiwi Marae.
