Dunedin Athenaeum and Mechanics Institute

Rising Stars Event – Lunchtime reading 11 May 2017

The Athenaeum held a lovely lunchtime reading of five young poets as part of the Dunedin Writers & Readers Festival.  Otago Access Radio is doing a series called Profile of 20 Young Poets and the Youth Co-ordinator Domi Angelo-Laloli organised for some of them to give a public reading.  There was a hush in the room as the poets read and afterwards everyone was elated by the high standard of what they had been lucky enough to hear.
