Poetry Shelf 2019 will resume poetry coverage in the next week or so with new features and old.

I will flag the arrival of all new NZ poetry books that are sent to me and review/interview some. Publishers or poets can send books to PO Box 95078 Swanson Waitakere 0653

I will also host a Poetry Shelf NOTICEBOARD – poetry events and poetry news. Send copy to paulajoygreen@gmail.com

I am continuing the Monday Poem slot but I do not accept unsolicited poems at the moment.

On Tuesdays I will pay attention to  New Books. And throughout the week!

On Wednesdays I am introducing  Poetry Classics where poets and poetry fans get to share NZ poems or poetry books they have loved.

Poetry Audio spot continues on Thursdays.

On Fridays I am hosting Poetry Talk where a poet or poetry fan gets to talk about something that sparks them in the gloriously wide wide fields of poetry.

The blog will continue to have a NZ/Aotearoa focus but will also celebrate international poetry.

Dream pile: to post poetry videos! Let me know if you can do this!
