Lockdown Poetry Series

During the beginning of pro-longed 2021 lockdown here in Auckland and other regions of New Zealand, I reached out to all the amazing poets from the Poetry & Pyjamas Zoom event to get them to record their art and share their stories with us.

And boy, don't we have some wonderful stuff for you! This is a series of short Instagram videos that includes 5 questions and individual poetry pieces.
