National Producer of Motif Poetry
Amy Atkins joined us in 2023 as a Producer for our Windswept Slams in Te Whanganui-ā-Tara Wellington. In 2024, Amy took on a new role as National Producer. Amy produces all Motif events around the motu and supports Common Poets' Society in the Hawkes Bay to produce their slam series. She monitors our emails; runs our Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Patreon accounts; and liaises with organisations to get poets places!
Amy is a published and award winning slam poet. She was Motif Poetry’s 2023 Anti-Slam winner and in 2022 she was a joint Wellington Poetry Slam champion. Amy has been a feature poet for Sofar Sounds Wellington, Welcome To Nowhere Festival, Tauranga ZineFest, and Poetry In Motion. She’s had poetry published in Poems4Peace and the New Zealand Poetry Society Anthology. Her work is lyrical, political, occasionally comedic, and explores the mundane.
