Phone (09) 479 8763 or 021 753744 - Jesse Mulligan, "1-4." 2018 New Zealand Poetry Yearbook (Wednesday 14 March 2018):
The upcoming 2018 Poetry Yearbook includes 130 new poems from 87 poets. It has a skew for 2018 towards younger writers including those who are still in their teens. It also features the 2018 Poetry Prize Winner's work. That was won by an Otago University Medical student, Fardowsa Mohamed. The Yearbook's editor Jack Ross talks to Jesse about the quality of this year's book and the talent of the country's younger poets.
Duration: 7′ 49″ - Jesse Mulligan, "Short Story Club." Us, by Fardowsa Mahomed (Thursday 15 March 2018):
Every Thursday after 3pm Jesse and a guest discuss a New Zealand short story, and read feedback from listeners.
On Thursday 15th March we will discuss the poem Us, by Fardowsa Mohamed. - Bryan Walpert, "Poetry New Zealand Yearbook 2018 launched at Devonport Library." Massey University Press (21 March 2018):
I said poetry is a particularly conscious attention to language. There are so many wonderful engagements with language in this issue — attention to image and sound and connotation and figure and form. But what strikes me most is the variety on offer here — tight lyric poems, long prose poems, poems of intimacy and distance, poems of New Zealand and abroad.
The work they do, too, is of striking variety. These poems partake, in endlessly new ways, of the traditional work of the lyric poem. There are the poems of love, such as Bob Orr’s ‘A Woman in Red Slacks’, a poem I was so taken with I retyped it and sent it to someone; elegies, as in Mark Pirie’s ‘11 Memories of David’; and poems that move from strict elegy to the broader elegiac — surely poetry’s natural state — as in Heidi North’s ‘Goodbye, Goodbye This Time’.
...
Such variety suggests the broad taste and aesthetic pluralism of its editor. This is not, as in many anthologies, a strict record of the editor’s taste or dare I suggest it, friendships — but, rather, a clear effort to capture the diversity of New Zealand poems and thoughts on poems at the present moment. - Genevieve Westcott, "Massey University Press publishes 'Poetry New Zealand Yearbook'." Massey University (21 March 2018):
Proudly published by Massey University Press, Issue #52 of Poetry New Zealand Yearbook features 130 new poems by 87 poets, including Alistair Paterson, Jennifer Compton, David Eggleton, Sue Fitchett, Ted Jenner, Bob Orr, Albert Wendt and Mark Young.
“More than 300 submissions were received for this issue, making the selection particularly difficult,” says editor Jack Ross. There are also six essays and reviews of 30 new poetry collections.
Issue #52 is notable for a skew towards younger writers, some still in their teens. This issue also publishes the three winning entries in the 2018 Poetry New Zealand Poetry Prize. Claiming first prize is University of Otago medical student Fardowsa Mohamed; Semira Davis from north of Wellington takes second prize; and Nelson-based poet Henry Ludbrook receives third prize. - Laine Moger, "Poetry alive and in progress: Poetry NZ Yearbook 2018 published." Stuff: Entertainment (22 March 2018):
Alistair Paterson was the featured poet of the book, and esteemed guest at the launch. For many poets reading at the event, it was Paterson who gave them their first published poem.
He was the previous editor before publishers Massey University Press, for 20 years from 1994 to 2014, and one of his poems was published in the very first publication in 1951.
But Paterson said he was humbled by the poets and flattered Ross had published his poetry in the book.
"I am still learning my craft and learning it from the poets of today," Paterson said.
The privilege was not given by the poet, rather it was the reader who privileges the poet, he added.
Paterson said the poetry in this book was as good as any one could find overseas in US or Britain.
Yearbook editor Jack Ross said the variety and diversity of form in the book was a way to "gauge the temperature" of poetry.
Issue 52 of the yearbook features 130 new poems by 87 poets. The poetry yearbook has been continuously published since 1951. - Victor Billot, "Ambient Terror reviewed in New Zealand Poetry Yearbook 2018." Victor Billot: Southern Hemisphere (11 March 2018):
The writer Laura Solomon has written a very generous review of Ambient Terror for the just released Poetry New Zealand Yearbook 2018.
Published by Massey University Press and edited by Jack Ross, the revamped magazine also features a wide range of work from New Zealand poets including a substantial feature on the work of Alastair Paterson, and a very wide range of established and less known poets, along with reviews and essays.
I’ve reproduced the review in full below (as you don’t get your tyres pumped up like this everyday), but I urge readers to purchase a copy of the Yearbook. - Paula Green, "Poetry Shelf Review: Poetry New Zealand Yearbook 2018." NZ Poetry Shelf (10 April 2018):
Editor Jack Ross has achieved degrees of diversity within the 2018 issue and I also see a poetry family evolving. How many of these poets have appeared in Landfall or Sport, for example? A number of the poets have a history of publication but few with the university presses.
This feels like a good thing. We need organic communities that are embracing different voices and resisting poetry hierarchies.
Poetry NZ Yearbook Annual offers a generous serving of poems (poets in alphabetical order so you get random juxtapositions), reviews and a featured poet (this time Alistair Paterson). It has stuck to this formula for decades and it works.
What I enjoyed about the latest issue is the list of poets I began to assemble that I want a book from. Some I have never heard of and some are old favourites. - "Three poems from Poetry NZ Yearbook 2018." ARTicle Magazine (28 April 2018):
Edited by Jack Ross and published by Massey University Press, Poetry New Zealand Yearbook 2018 features 130 new poems by 87 poets.
Joanna Preston is a Tasmanaut poet, editor and freelance creative writing tutor. Her first collection, The Summer King (Otago University Press, 2009), won both the 2008 Kathleen Grattan Award for Poetry and the 2010 Mary Gilmore Prize.
Sam Keenan lives in Wellington. She was the winner of the 2014 Story Inc. Prize for Poetry, and she has an MA with distinction from the International Institute of Modern Letters. Her work has been published in Landfall and Cordite.
Tricia Dearborn has been widely published in Australian literary journals including Meanjin, Southerly, Island Magazine and Westerly, as well as in the UK, the US and Ireland. Her work is represented in anthologies including Contemporary Australian Poetry, Australian Poetry Since 1788 and The Best Australian Poems. Her latest collection is The Ringing World (Puncher & Wattmann, 2012). She was recently awarded an Australia Council grant to complete a third collection. - Hamesh Wyatt, "Poetry roundup: Poetry New Zealand Yearbook 2018." Otago Daily Times: Entertainment: Books (18 June 2018):
Poetry New Zealand Yearbook 2018 is bigger and better than last year's edition.
It attracted more than 300 submissions. Jack Ross, the editor, trimmed it back to 87 poems, 13 reviewers and six essayists. Albert Wendt, David Eggleton, Jill Chan, Mark Pirie, John Allison and Olivia Macassey all make appearances."Dead Man's Point,'' by Jess Flebig
This is well worth checking out.
Autumnal Central Otago
copper poplars line Lake Dunstan,
a pool of glass underneath
this Southern watercolour sky
the yolk yellow leaves
brash and unashamedly golden
in this lilac light,
are shocking in their defiance
of the gentle pastel landscape
they stir something inside me
that has lain still
for so long.
