Where Are The Words That Broke The Heart With Beauty? The Poetry Of Eileen Duggan

A tribute event to the late Lydia Wevers (1950–2021)

Just under 100 years ago Eileen Duggan (1894–1972) was New Zealand’s best-known poet.
She wrote for 50 years — her work focused on our landscape and people and reflecting her Catholic faith — and she had a strong international following, something local poets rarely achieve.


Peter Whiteford will chair a celebration of Eileen Duggan, with Dame Fiona Kidman, Roger Steele, Michael Fitzsimons and Robin Peace.


Each will read one of her poems and respond with work of their own.
