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