They will read their work along with poets Michele Leggott, Selina Tusitala Marsh, Paula Green, Kelly Malone and special guests Robert Sullivan and the New Zealand Poet Laureate, Cilla McQueen.
A Million Poems for Matariki on National Poetry Day is free, and goes from 5.30pm to 7.30pm on Friday 30th of July on the Ground Floor or the Auckland City Library, Lorne Street, Auckland.
