A journey through the hearts and histories and landscapes of NZ - from the country's earliest poems to work by the new poets of the 21st century.
Bill Manhire - prize-winning poet, editor of several anthologies, lecturer in creative writing at Victoria University, 2004 Katherine Mansfield Fellow at Menton - chooses the top 121 NZ Poems (but includes only one poem by any poet).

The first edition was published in 1993, reprinted twice in 1994 and again later in the decade, now unavailable for five years.

The poems in the book range all the way from Southland to Iraq, from a backyard telescope to Mars, from the Rapture to rugby league. Along the way, there’s love, sex, children, and Motorhead. These poems are full of surprises.
In his review in "Southern Ocean Review" 45, Trevor Reeves said:
"This is Jones' third book and it has me captivated. The tasteful photo in
the front has been lovingly prepared. I liked 'Bloody but Unbowed' best, a
short poem lovingly crafted, with pungency and feeling. The personal
