Books for Review

Submit your publication to the National Coordinator at PO Box 5283, Lambton Quay, Wellington 6145. Because we receive a lot of books for review and are dependent on members to provide the reviews we cannot guarantee every submitted book will receive a review. Self-published books are only accepted for review if they have outstanding qualities or contribute significantly to New Zealand poetry.

The following books are available for review by NZPS members.

Email info@poetrysociety.org.nz to have a book sent to you.
