Poetry Masterclass with NZ Poet Laureate Chris Tse

Join Poet Laureate Chris TSE for a Poetry Masterclass.

In this session, Chris will lead participants in reading and discussing several poems to explore a range of voices from contemporary New Zealand poetry. The class will also be given prompts for writing exercises.

This is a one-off opportunity to learn from the Poet Laureate.

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).

This workshop is assisted by the Central Lakes Arts Support Scheme and in collaboration with Queenstown Writers Festival.
