Review:
I picked this collection up in a bookstore in Auckland while I was traveling around New Zealand, so it's no surprise that it feels a little extra magical to get to have and read.
I am very fond of a short poem, so this was pretty perfect for me. There's all kinds of themes and writing styles in this, as it's all written by a variety of different poets, and so it feels pretty natural that I adored some of the poems whereas others I didn't. There are some poems that are about New Zealand but a lot of them are not necessarily.
It was an enjoyable experience to read this and I'll probably return to it more than once, but it's hard to rate these kinds of books because these types of collections are always a bit of a mixed bag. It's very much worth the read though and I feel like anyone who enjoys poetry can find something in it that speaks to them.
