Three extraordinary poets introduce their new collections, books of poetry brimming over with feeling, and taut with intellectual curiosity. Amy Marguerite (over under fed), Sophie van Waardenberg (No Good), and Emma Barnes (IF WE KNEW HOW TO WE WOULD) talk with Anna Jackson about the conditionality of rapture, the loveliness of loneliness, the difficulty of living in a hungry body, how it has felt to keep writing through a pandemic, heart-break and grief, and why it matters to make space for metaphor and memory, for sparrows and bees and a guinea-pig, eating a dandelion, its mouth full of gold.Writers on Mondays is presented by the International Institute of Modern Letters and Te Papa Tongarewa. The 2025 series will run from 12.15—1.15 pm each Monday from 7 July to 29 September at Te Papa Tongarewa and Circa Theatre, with two special evening sessions at Meow. Admission is free and all are welcome. The series is supported by the Letteri family.
