Black Window: A Poetry Object by Josiah Morgan

Join us for the exciting launch of Josiah Morgan's Black Window in celebration of National Poetry Day on 28 August! 📅 This event will feature a captivating performance with live musical accompaniment by Dominic Hamilton.

Titled after Ralph Hotere's painting Black window - toward Aramoana, this chapbook delves into themes of censorship, redaction, and privacy in the modern era, all encapsulated in Morgan's distinctive satirical queer voice. 📖✨ As part of the Poetry Aotearoa Yearbook 2026, this latest release promises to be an engaging exploration.

Award-winning poet Tracey Slaughter describes Black Window as an acceleration "through a glass darkly...culture's cutting edge[s radiate] out in electric fragments." 🔥

Come experience this profound literary moment at 134 Oxford Terrace, Christchurch, New Zealand 8011.
