Paula Green has started NZ Poetry Shelf, an exciting new blog all about New Zealand poetry, which will include, as the masthead says 'reviews, interviews and other things'.

Paula says in her first post:
"In his speech for the New Zealand Post Book Awards’ shortlist, chief judge John Campbell said: “It is a reflection of the extraordinary strength of the new and young writers we read, particularly in poetry, where New Zealand is blessed by so many fine writers (at all ages and stages) that we respectfully suggest poetry could stand beside rugby as our national sport.” I have heard some stadiums overseas get packed to the brim to hear a poet.

"Having read so many of the poetry books published in the past 17 months and with much admiration, John’s declaration prompted me to put a floating idea into concrete action." She also gives a lovely shout-out to Maria McMillan's The Rope Walk. Read the rest of the post here...

She's already started with mini reviews of some of the poetry books she's enjoyed over the past year. I can tell this blog is going to become an important part of the New Zealand poetry scene.
