Just under 100 years ago Eileen Duggan (1894–1972) was New Zealand’s best-known poet. She wrote for 50 years – her work focused on our landscape and people and reflected her Catholic faith – and she had a strong international following, something local poets rarely achieve. Peter Whiteford will chair a celebration of Eileen Duggan, with Dame Fiona Kidman, Roger Steele, Michael Fitzsimons and Robin Peace. Each will read one of her poems and respond with work of their own.

The event is finished.
