Every month, a loose group of people get together for the love the words. Sometimes the words are sung to a guitar, or stated as fact, often read aloud from a newly published book, or maybe fresh from the writer’s notebook. Sometimes it’s non-fiction, poetry, stories, a novel, or song. Wairarapa Word celebrates them all.
