Writers on Mondays 2015 programme announced

Read or download the programme for the IIML's 2015 winter reading series.

Writers on Mondays is an annual series of public readings and events showcasing local writers and international guests.

The 2015 programme features Poet Laureate Vincent O'Sullivan in conversation with Fergus Barrowman, and Witi Ihimaera in conversation with Tina Makereti, alongside sessions with emerging and established writers - and artists - including many graduates of Victoria's Creative Writing programme.

We are also delighted to host the Miles Franklin Award-winning Australian novelist Michelle de Kretser, who will be chaired by Emily Perkins.

Our annual Best New Zealand Poems reading will be an early celebration of National Poetry Day and, as always, Writers on Mondays provides an opportunity to hear new work by Page and Scriptwriting students from this year's MA in Creative Writing.

Writers on Mondays is presented by Victoria's International Institute of Modern letters, in partnership with The Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, National Poetry Day and Circa Theatre.

Events take place on Mondays at lunchtime on The Marae, Level 4, Te Papa, with the exception of the Short Sharp Script events, which will be held at Circa Theatre. Full details are in the programeme.
