Poetry Posse: nights at the Old Butter Factory
Thanks again to the Old Butter Factory venue in Whangarei for hosting performance poetry every month.
Here are some pics of a typical night, taken October 2016.
HOLY SHIT, WE HAVE A WEBSITE NOW
This is the post excerpt.
Welcome to the website for Northland’s Poetry Posse.
We’re local folk who like to vocalise.
We’re Northland’s most courageous sages on the stage.
We know we owe Te Tai Tokerau some poe, yo.
Have a cruise around our website to get to know how we enliven the top of the country with poetry, then maybe drop us a line so we can perform wherever you are.
Performing on opening night of NZ Poetry Festival & Conference, Auckland, November 2017
What the Posse got up to in 2016: National Poetry Day Slam
The highlight of 2016 for performance poets was National Poetry Day.
We were deeply grateful to Whangarei’s finest venue The Old Stone Butter Factory for hosting the event, and to Whangarei Girls High School for sending their poets over.
The event was won by Brett Ruys of Whangarei. Second place was Dave Taylor of …somewhere in Northland.
Enjoy the photos.
