Dunedin (RE)LAUNCH of IT'S WHAT HE WOULD'VE WANTED, Nick Ascroft
Friday, 19th December 2025 8:00 AM
RDS Gallery, 6 Castle Street, Dunedin
Dunedin remains in Nick Ascroft's heart like a worrying bit of shadow in an xray. No book of his is properly launched until a glass is sloshed at it in Dunedin. Lynley Edmeades will (re)launch the thing, after which Nick will give a short reading.
Please come along and force someone to come with you who really doesn't want to.
It's What He Would've Wanted is the sixth book of poetry from the author of the acclaimed The Stupefying ("the very best book of poetry of 2022" said Newsroom).
