Peter Simpson: Bloomsbury South

Kim Hill talks to academic and author Peter Simpson, who knew and worked with many of the group of poets, writers, playwrights, painters and other artists in Christchurch who collaborated during a 20-year period to produce distinctive New Zealand art. He tells their story in Bloomsbury South: the Arts in Christchurch 1933-1953 (AUP), and will speak about it at the WORD Christchurch Writers & Readers Festival 2016.
