Poetry:

There are going to be a lot of poets in Auckland over the [unclear: stival] from all over the land. Among them will be Ian Wedd. and Trevor Reeves. At least one major reading is being organize by Russell Haley, Arthur Baysting and Murray Edmond, and for many of the poets this will be the last before they leave for other lands. Individual poets are also being asked to contribute to the mixed-media collages in less formal, perhaps more bizarre ways.

There will be a display, too, of poems from people throughout the country, invited to contribute, whose names have been randomly selected from telephone directories. This will be on all week at the Grafton Road Arts Centre.
