| Arts advisor, writer and critic, Jodie Dalgleish will read poems from a collection started while directing NZ Pacific Studio in 2013. Jodie’s poems enjoy the potential of language and speech to create imagery in the minds of readers and listeners. She writes intensely of everyday experience with a sense of fantasy and melancholic humour, often exploring the poetic capacity of other 'disciplines' such as history, philosophy and science. |
