Joan Fleming, the current Kaipukahu Writer in Residence at the University of Waikato, is writing what she calls a poet's novel.

Joan Fleming, the current Kaipukahu Writer in Residence at the University of Waikato, is writing what she calls a poet’s novel: a failed love story that cracks open into an ecological folktale. She’ll be in conversation with the Waikato branch of the New Zealand Society of Authors about new directions with The Fig Book, cold water swims, the importance of absurdity and humour in her writing, and creative citizenship.

This event is sponsored by the Waikato Branch of the New Zealand Society of Authors.
