Late Night Lit with Greg McGee

Is low light a bit of a permission slip to be experimental, aching, bloody, bare? If you’re still thirsty for a well-turned word after the kids are in bed, throw on a silk robe and drop in to hear some of the
country’s top crafters perform in casual salon style. Sam Duckor-Jones, Freya Daly-Sadgrove and Greg McGee will share old favourites and new treasures to an audience of potential participants. That’s right! If you feel inspired, bring along a poem or short piece to share alongside our fabulous guests. Cash bar, naturally. Last bell at 10:30pm and sandwiches provided.

This is an event involved in the Featherston Booktown Festival on Friday 10th, Saturday 11th & Sunday 12th May celebrating everything to do with books, writers and reading.

The three-day programme includes writing workshops; poetry readings; talks by leading authors and illustrators; and a book fair including stalls with rare and second-hand books. There are also events specifically for children.
