I am honoured and humbled to continue to commentate on poetry and poets in Aotearoa New Zealand, which swerve away from so-called ‘traditional’ ways to write a poem and concomitantly, away from traditional topoi.
In this commentary, I will extend from my final commentary post of March 2016, which was entitled ‘Coda 2,’ although that title is obviously a misnomer, as this country just keeps on producing poets of great ability, with serious credentials and a willingness to s t r e t c h the paramaters of what a poem is, should be.
Three new talents
Three New Zealand poets with something vital to say
Kia ora. Talofa lava. Malo. Greetings, once more.
