Celebrating NZ Poetry

This Spotlight celebrates New Zealand's rich history in poetry, with contributions by some of our finest poets — including Allen Curnow, Denis Glover, Sam Hunt, James K Baxter, Cilla McQueen and Hone Tuwhare. Tuwhare turns up in multiple titles, from Gaylene Preston's 2005 documentary, to 1975 interview Review - Hone Tuwhare. Meanwhile Sam Hunt and Gary McCormick hit the road in 1980’s Artists Prepare, then 15 years later, in The Roaring 40's Tour — when the ache of descending middle age is upon them.
