Four poets to visit Parliament
PA Wellington Four leading New Zealand poets are' expected to visit Parliament next month, and plan to make rhyming submissions.
The four are Sam Hunt, Hone Tuwhare, Alistair Campbell, and Jan Kemp.
The Students’ Arts Council launched them on a sevencentre tour last week-end, and as well as reciting on campuses and in theatres, the quartet plan to put poems to Parliament. They plan to visit Parliament on July 3. The council arranged a similar tour in 1975, featuring Messrs Hunt and Tuwhare and Dennis Glover and Allan Brunton.
The council wants poetry to reach a wider audience and has chosen what it feels is a cross-section of contemporary New Zealand poets.
