A Clear Dawn: New Asian Voices from Aotearoa

A Clear Dawn, edited by Paula Morris and Alison Wong, is the first ever anthology of Asian-New Zealand creative writing. It gathers together the brilliant work of a new wave of writers with roots in soils from Indonesia to China, India to Thailand, and of course Aotearoa as well. Join a rich selection of contributors including E Wen Wong,  Nod Ghosh,  Russell Boey, Melanie Kwang and host Neema Singh, for readings and discussion, with special guest Jeffrey Zhao on the erhu (Chinese classical ‘violin’).

Please note that Alison Wong and Paula Morris are no longer able to appear due to COVID travel restrictions. Neema Singh will be the new host.
