Past & Present

Alan Gillis on Wallace Stevens Jenny Bornholdt on Lorine Niedecker

This event took place on Fri 20 March
The Town Hall, Queens Gardens – Council Chamber

Two more StAnza poets present their personal choice of and responses to the work of two twentieth-century American poets: Wallace Stevens, one of the country’s most important and influential modernist poets; and Lorine Niedecker, the self-styled “condensery” poet, whose remarkable work has only recently started to gain the wider recognition it deserves.

Presented with the support of Creative New Zealand
