We're so excited that Nina Mingya Powles's Magnolia 木蘭 has been shortlisted for the Mary and Peter Biggs Award for Poetry at the Ockham New Zealand Book Awards. Congratulations Nina!

She's in fine company, as you can see. You can read more about the finalists on the awards site. The winners will be announced at the awards ceremony on on 12 May, during the 2021 Auckland Writers Festival. (Hopefully it won't have to go online again this year!)

 Seraph Press and Food Court Books invite you to come and celebrate the launch of Magnolia 木蘭 by Nina Mingya Powles. 

When: Saturday 13 March, 3 pm
Where: Food Court Books, 84 Constable Street, Newtown, Wellington

Nina will read from Magnolia 木蘭 and copies will be for sale.

For every copy of Magnolia 木蘭 you buy at the launch you'll also receive an extra special gift (while stock lasts): a gorgeous risograph print of 'Last eclipse', one of the poems in the collection, which Nina has printed herself.
