Writers on Mondays: The Voyages Women Take

This week at Writers on Mondays: Ingrid Horrocks on the Voyages Women Take.

Memoirist, essayist, poet, fiction writer, and scholar Ingrid Horrocks is the 2024 Writer in Residence at the International Institute of Modern Letters (IIML). Her writing across genres explores voyages women take; whether set in Croatia, the Amazon, Scandinavia, or Days Bay, she writes vividly of women travelling in the company of family, journeying in pods, moving in response to kinship ties. The Australian Book Review called her most recent book of essays 'luminous' and 'a work of wondrous depth'. Kate Duignan talks with Ingrid about the breadth of her work, and her recent turn to fiction.

Writers on Mondays events are open to everyone and free of charge.

Writers on Mondays is presented by the International Institute of Modern Letters and The Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa. The 2024 series will run from 12.15—1.15 pm each Monday from 8 July to 30 September 2024 at Te Papa Tongarewa and Circa Theatre, with two special evening sessions at Meow.
