Events Calendar

Chris Tse is a New Zealand poet, short story writer and editor. His works explore questions of identity, including his Chinese heritage and queer identity. Tse was named New Zealand’s 13th Poet Laureate (2022-2025).

In this intimate literary event, Chris will be reading selections from his previous collections, plus new poems written during his time as Poet Laureate that focus on how we capture and express joy, particularly during times of crisis and uncertainty. Local poets will also be joining Chris on stage to add local voices to this special evening.

There is limited ticket availability for this event, so be sure to secure your tickets as soon as possible, via the designated link below, as we are unable to offer door sales on the night. Get tickets HERE.

This project is a collaboration with Queenstown Writers Festival.
