'It is said that we are in the middle of a poetry revolution in New Zealand: there is certainly a lot of production, an eager climate of reception and a sense that new cultural confidences and anxieties are finding new expression. It is a pleasure, then, to find a carefully chosen selection of new poets and new poems that show the rich diversity of the contemporary scene: from Ben Kemp entering "the arteries of Tokyo... / with ears open ..." to Vanessa Crofskey's barbed attention to the deceptions and oddities of our try-hard but not really multicultural society, to Chris Stewart's patient observations of family and childbirth. AUP New Poets 6 offers us three genuinely new poets who carry us into the varied energies of a reflective, flamboyant, at times impatient and caustic writing scene.' Book jacket.
