Autumn Poetry in Springtime

First the venue for the CPC (see below) autumn series was lost because the landlord didn't renew the lease of the Madras Cafe Bookshop.
So they found a new venue which was destroyed in the February earthquake.

And finally, the series is underway - what should have been the autumn series is now the spring series:

Canterbury Poets Collective (CPC) presents

The new big fat comfortable venue is the CPIT Students
Association (CPSA) Hall, at 5 Madras Street and about 300
