Ignite Wellington #4 - Poems from a long walk for freedom : Vietnam

Mike Eager is a Wellington poet. His books are Warning:Poems (with Alex Staines) and Living First Class in a Third World Country. A short film, The Firewood Tree, was based on and includes a sequence of his poems.

Mike has set himself the challenge of a series of walks and writing a poem from each day of the journey. The five poems in this talk are from the two Vietnam sections, walking from Ha Long Bay to Sa Pa in the mountains and down to the border with China at Lao Cai. A series of cards is in production with proceeds to go to anti-slavery charities.

Ignite Wellington #4 was on Tuesday, 8 November 2011 - register for our next event to be inspired, amused, educated and amazed: http://www.ignitewellington.co.nz
