Join nine lives journal for the launch of our first ever issue from 6:30pm on Wednesday 13 August at Enjoy Contemporary Art Space. 

Hear our poets read, nibble on some snacks and pick up a copy of the zine!

nine lives aims to cherish its poets just as much as their poetry.

Our issues will feature nine Aotearoa poets, each offering work they feel embodies them as both artists and individuals. The result—a capsule of the nine lives lived by our beloved poets.
