Writers On Mondays: Harry Ricketts: A Life In Writing

The publication of his acclaimed memoir First Things gives us a great opportunity to talk to Harry Ricketts about a lifetime of writing. Harry recently retired after a long and distinguished teaching career at Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington. Harry's work includes a major biography of Rudyard Kipling, a study of the Great War poets, many essays and reviews, and a stunning body of poetry. Chaired by Damien Wilkins. Writers on Mondays events are open to everyone and free of charge. Writers on Mondays is presented by the International Institute of Modern Letters and The Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa. The 2024 series will run from 12.15—1.15 pm each Monday from 8 July to 30 September 2024 at Te Papa Tongarewa and Circa Theatre, with two special evening sessions at Meow.
