summary_computer_generatedThe event featured a rich tapestry of voices, including Cadence Chung, Chris Tse, Emily Writes, Ruby Solly, and Sam Orchard. This literary assembly served as a platform for these artists to share their diverse and profound poetic expressions, reflecting on themes ranging from identity and survival to societal critiques and personal narratives. Ruby Solly, a Takatāpui writer, presented works exploring identity, belonging, and the intricacies of relationships. Their poetry, characterized by vivid imagery and emotive language, delves into the nuances of queer experiences and the complexity of human connections. Cadence Chung, a queer Asian poet, showcased their debut collection, "Anomalia," which examines the tender aspects of humanity with a critical and introspective lens. Their work often challenges conventional norms and boldly addresses complex themes with a unique voice. Oscar Upperton followed up their successful debut with "The Surgeon's Brain," a not entirely non-fictional account of Dr. James Barry, a transgender man in the Victorian era. This work intertwines historical context with contemporary insights, offering a nuanced exploration of gender identity. Chris Tse, the Poet Laureate of Aotearoa, shared from their collection, "Supermodel Minority," which navigates the intersections of cultural identity, societal expectations, and personal growth. Their poetry is known for its heart-warming and life-affirming qualities, often touching on deeply personal and communal experiences. This event not only showcased the talents of these individuals but also highlighted the importance of queer representation in literature. It provided a space for these voices to be heard and celebrated, contributing to the broader discourse on diversity and inclusion in the arts.
