Product Information

Indisputably the best one-stop shop if you're seeking the pulse of poetry in this country --New Zealand Listener Poetry Aotearoa Yearbook 2023: after-burn is a conflagration, the cover licking flames, the featured poet Tyla Harry Bidois giving no quarter in her poems of blood, stabbings, iron and pythons. Editor Tracey Slaughter notes that “a poem refuses to let us be shut down, locked out, cut off,” and after-burn is filled to the brim with that sort of poetry. The great joy of the Poetry New Zealand Yearbook is in the voyage of discovery --Erica Stretton, Kete
