Wild Iron: New Zealand Poetry Adapted to Song

Lorenzo Bühne

As a punk-rocker-come -Italian-balladeer, Lorenzo Bühne's music is always surprising - and his talent undeniable.
Join Lorenzo as he launches his much-anticipated new album, Wild Iron: New Zealand Poetry Adapted to Song.  Wild Iron includes the words of many of our preeminent literary figures- past, present, and future: Katherine Mansfield, ARD Fairburn, Charles Brasch, Allen Curnow, Fiona Farrell, Sam Hunt, Bill Manhire, Vincent O'Sullivan, and Jo Randerson.
Lorenzo will play selections from this album along with special guests Lucien Johnson, John Rae, Patrick Bleakley, and Andreas Lepper.  In Wild Iron, each poem maps its own stylistic and interpretive pathway. What ties these works together is the New Zealand story, translated by a masterful musician on his own journey to becoming a Kiwi.
