Lia Eteuati

Lia Eteuati is a writer and a poet who got lost as a lawyer for over ten years but is in the process of finding her way back from the wilderness. She is currently undertaking a Masters of Creative Writing at the University of Auckland and was awarded the Sir James Wallace Masters of Creative Writing Scholarship on the strength of her writing portfolio. She has been published in a number of different publications, but loves spoken word for its ability to bring poetry to thepeople. She was the runner up in this year’s University of Auckland Poetry Slam 2014 and won the first Auckland heat of the New Zealand Poetry Slam 2014.
