The Wellington Writers Walk is a string of concrete plaques and benchmarks along the waterfront at Oriental Bay, each carrying a line from a New Zealand writer. The number 22 in this listing is one of the pieces on the walk. Together the 24 pieces quote poets, novelists and playwrights, past and present, including Katherine Mansfield, Bill Manhire, Patricia Grace and Sam Hunt, and they celebrate Wellington's place in those writers' lives.
The walk was opened on 11 March 2002, during New Zealand Post Writers and Readers Week, as part of the International Festival of the Arts. A second stage of plaques followed in 2004, and benchmarks were added in 2009 and 2013. It is a project of the Wellington branch of the New Zealand Society of Authors, PEN NZ.
Because the pieces are set into the path at intervals, the walk suits a stroll along the bay, where a visitor can read the quotations one at a time. The site is at 139A Oriental Parade.
