07.02.2024

The National Library has announced Chris Tse as the New Zealand Poet Laureate for 2022–2024.

As Poet Laureate, Chris Tse will take poetry to new places and new readers and new writers around Aotearoa – we’re going to love watching him do it,‘ says Sam Elworthy, director of Auckland University Press.

‚He’ll be the most amazing poet laureate! In three extraordinary poetry collections, up on stage with the Show Ponies, and growing the New Zealand literature pond with the Out Here anthology, Chris brings open eyes and an open heart, a fresh voice and a cutting wit.‘

Dominic Hoey is an author and musician based in Auckland, New Zealand. Much of his writing deals with working class challenges of poverty and illness, including living with a debilitating bone disease.
