Twenty Contemporary New Zealand Poets

An Anthology

Herausgeber: Marsack, Robyn; Johnstone, Andrew

Beschreibung

As the first anthology of its kind to be published outside New Zealand in decades, this anthology showcases the country's diverse literary scene through works from 20 different poets. Whether the authors were born in the 1960s, prominent in the 1980s, or part of a younger generation, they all represent the distinctive poetic voice coming out of modern New Zealand. Through intellectual inquiry, playing freely with lyric expectation, formal innovation, and a fiercely fond attention to the uniqueness of the country's life and speech, all of the selections extend the boundaries of their medium.
