Notes

"Two leading Maori scholars collect Maori poetic voices in English and let flow a wellspring of poetry. From both revered established writers as well as exciting new voices, the poems in Puna Wai Korero offer a broad picture of Maori poetry in English. The voices are many and diverse: confident, angry, traditional, respectful, experimental, despairing and full of hope, expressing a range of poetic techniques and the full scope of what it is to be Maori"-- Apirana Ngata, Arapera Blank, Bub Bridger, Keri Hulme, Witi Ihimaera, Kelly Ann Morey, Apirana Taylor, Hone Tuwhare & others
