SAM JORY-SMART\nSam JS is a classical poet transforming the world into words through lyric form. Her work has been published across New Zealand. This will be her debut poetry reading. \n5. JOSIAH MORGAN\nJosiah Morgan is an experimental poet dealing with the intersection of sex\, violence and identity head-on.
