Overview

Writers on Mondays is a free weekly event held every Monday from July 14 until September 29, 2014. Each week local and international writers, screenwriters and poets like Peter Cox - who wrote Insider's Guide to Happiness, Mexican-born Michael Schmidt who founded two poetry presses in the UK, and ex-TVNZ US correspondent Tim Wilson talk about the work and inspiration involved in putting those ink blots on paper.

On August 11 at 12:15pm, New Zealand writers and historians Kate Hunter and Kirstie Ross will discuss the process and research that went into their most recent publication Holding on to Home, a ‘powerfully human and compelling illustrated history of New Zealand’s war experience’. The book aims to tell the veterans' war stories through their artefacts and possessions.
