ELP Porirua poems feature in ‘More of us’

Resources

What an honour for three of our Porirua centre learners! Asaid Eshaq, Sediqa Amini and Nicole Wang feature in More of Us, a new anthology of poems by 46 people who came to New Zealand as former refugees or migrants.

Writers range from people like Asaid, Sediqa and Nicole, to well-established poets, to high school ESOL students.

English Language Partners has had a big involvement in the project. Adrienne Jansen, lead editor for the book, ran a poetry workshop for the centre for several months in 2018.

The book was launched by Michael Wood, Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Ethnic Communities, at the National Library in Wellington on Race Relations Day, 21 March 2019.

200 people attended amid high security – it wasn’t your average book launch. The book had sold out by the launch, but it has since been reprinted.

It’s a book for every library and school, all English Language Partners’ centres and everyone working with migrants.

Please spread the word about this fantastic new book!

Available from Landing Press for $22.00
