Poetry Book Launch: El Renacer (Rebirth),

In this poetry book reading, you will hear newly released poems, in both their original Spanish form and English.

This is an interactive show, where the audience can contribute their thoughts and personal stories to the narrative and themes presented with the poems.

El Renacer (The Rebirth) Poems of Inspiration from New Zealand is a powerful collection of inspirational poetry that will take you on a journey of personal transformation and deep reflection. Written from the heart of New Zealand's untouched and wild nature during lockdown, each verse in this book offers poetic guidance for those facing significant life changes. It focuses on personal growth and rising to challenges through personal stories, metaphors and artistic descriptions.

Poet and singer/songwriter Lorena Cárdenas, from Barcelona, based in Aotearoa for 10 years, has led a life of adventure and self-discovery.

Whatever your challenge – a move to a new country or city, a breakup, a new job, or simply personal introspection – here you will find the wisdom and inspiration you need. The Rebirth explores universal themes such as sadness, love, grief, joy, rapture and rebellion. All while encouraging you to follow your path and embrace transformation.

"When it feels heavy, you are growing. When it hurts, you are transforming. When it looks like the end, this is your rebirth."
