Watch out Wellington! One of Aotearoa’s sharpest, fiercest, warmest, luminous, wittiest poets is coming for you and we are here to light the candles, blow the trumpets, weave the flowers and commune with her words! Tusiata Avia returns to Verb with her latest, brilliant collection of poetry, Big Fat Brown Bitch and you are all invited to join us to celebrate it.

A discounted ‘Ticket + book’ bundle is available for this event for a copy of Tusiata Avia's Big Fat Brown Bitch. If purchased, your book can be collected from Unity Books, 57 Willis Street, Wellington in advance of the festival, or at the event from Unity's book table.
