The Republic of Oma Rāpeti Press is proud to announce the release of volume 21 of Catalyst, international literary arts journal.
Featuring stunning artwork from New Zealand artist Helen Taylor and feature sections from Poland and Bulgaria, this issue is dedicated to the 'bleeding hearts and the artists'.
The book was launched in the traditional Catalyst rowdy manner with guest writers and read-alongs, at the home of Catalyst's monthly open mic - Space Academy, on Wednesday 7th August 2024.
It is a personal pleasure to be able to feature poetry from Poland in Catalyst 21. My mother’s great grandfather was one of the first Polish people to come to New Zealand, and I am thrilled to collaborate with Krystyna Lenkowska, to feature some of the finest Polish poets in this volume.
