Synopsis

Spanning more than a century of verse-writing, this comprehensive anthology reveals the richness, variety, and range of styles found in New Zealand poetry in English. Established figures such as Curnow, Baxter, and Tuwhare are given strong selections and contemporary poets are generously represented, while previously neglected figures such as Jessie Mackay are rescued from obscurity. With an eye to both fairness and range, the editors have compiled a collection of New Zealand poetry remarkable as much for its diversity of poetic forms as for its wealth of voices.
