For a good introduction to this year’s printer-in-residence project, check out this ODT feature on the progress that Sarah and Lynn have made so far.

On Thursday 25 August 2016, Sarah Smith, this year’s printer in residence from Dartmouth College,* will talk about her experience as Manager at Dartmouth’s Book Arts Workshop.  Her talk will begin at 12.15 in Cen 3, 1^st floor, Central University Library. All are welcome.  Feel free to bring your lunch.

Sarah is here at Otago printing poems that focus on Freda du Faur, the first female mountaineer to climb Mt Cook-Aoraki. The poems are by Rhian Gallagher.

*Dartmouth College is allied to the University of Otago through the Matariki Network.

The 2016 printer in residence, Sarah Smith, and Donald Kerr talk to Dunedin TV about this year’s project, an accordion-fold volume to represent the mountains that are the subject of Rhian Gallagher’s poetry.  Feel free to call by the Otakou Press to meet Sarah and find out more about the project.

The Dunedin Writers and Readers Festival is bringing down three authors from the Christchurch WORD festival.  They will be in Dunedin on Sunday 28 August and the lineup looks very interesting indeed.  Something here for everyone, or attend all three for the price of two.
