Ray Shipley’s Late Night Poetry Hour

This is a past WORD Christchurch event from 2025. To find out about our latest events and upcoming festival please join our mailing list.

Ōtautahi Christchurch’s favourite nocturnal salon brings together cool visitors and hot locals for a memorable night of poetry, good feelings and staying up a bit too late. The one and only Ray Shipley hosts Dominic Guerrera (Kaurna, Ngarrindjeri), Erik Kennedy, Kate Camp and Gabrielle Huria (Ngāi Tahu). And if you’re keen to have a go, step up for an open mic slot!
