If you're a poet, we want to know it!

Kāpiti Coast District Libraries' annual poetry competition returned for its eleventh year with Phantom Billstickers National Poetry Day being celebrated by poems written on the theme “Ink|Waituhi”. As usual, the theme could be interpreted in any way.

Over 160 poems were submitted across three age groups. You can check out the winning poems here, and download the free ebook here.

Special thanks to Phantom Billstickers National Poetry Day, the New Zealand Book Awards Trust, to the judges, and most of all to the poets.
