LitCrawl is fast-approaching - the annual event where writers, poets, and performers gather to share stories in Wellington.
Our live Short Story Club will be held once again but there is also a range of international artists travelling here for sessions.
One of them is Kaveh Akbar, a renowned poet. The author, who hails from Iran, is best known for his book Calling a Wolf a Wolf. He's here to tell us a bit more about himself and his work.
He'll also be at Word Christchurch later this month.
