Beloved west Auckland poet Serie Barford was nominated in the NZ Book Awards for Sleeping With Stones, traversing oceans of feeling, expressing the tragic loss of her lover.
Michael Steven\\u2019s third poetry collection in five years, Night School, won the Kathleen Grattan award. His live delivery of his work embodies judge\\u2019s David Eggleton\\u2019s comment: \\u201clucid precision\\u201d.
On the night, as we recorded these readings live at Going West\\u2019s Shifted Ground event in April 2022, Michael and Serie held the audience enthralled with every line. We know they\\u2019ll do the same for you.
