Chris Price

Chris Price's work often hovers around the intersections between literature and science. She is the author of three poetry collections including Husk (Best First Book of Poetry, Montana NZ Book Awards, 2002), The Blind Singer (2009) and Beside Herself (2016), as well as the hybrid 'biographical dictionary' Brief Lives (shortlisted, Montana NZ Book Awards' biography category, 2007). Chris is a former editor of the literary journal Landfall. Since 2009 she has convened the MA workshop in Poetry and Creative Nonfiction at the International Institute of Modern Letters. Bruce Foster's work meditates on the dialogue between the natural and human-altered environments, and is held by major museums and art galleries throughout New Zealand. He was one of nine artists on the 'Kermadec Project: Lines Across the Ocean', an initiative to articulate the issues facing one of the few pristine ocean sites left on the planet.
