*ALL TOGETHER NOW: A Digital Bridge for Auckland and Sydney*

http://www.nzepc.auckland.ac.nz/features/home&away/bridge.asp

The New Zealand Electronic Poetry Centre (*nzepc*) is pleased to announce the completion of its trans Tasman digital bridge project.

We asked for contributions to build a digital bridge between Auckland and Sydney as poetry symposiums took place in each city March and September 2010. In June the first part of the bridge was launched:

50-plus creative contributions, a collaborative digi poem, audio talks and photos from the Auckland symposium. Now the Sydney side launches with 60 creative contributions, a complementary digital collaboration, more audio talks, video readings, photos, and texts of papers and commentary. We present here the multiple traces (text, audio, visuals, poetry, prose) of the year’s trans Tasman exchanges, noting how often the roles of host and guest have flip flopped, and hoping that they will go on doing so as we move between each other’s reading and writing spaces.

Pam Brown, Martin Edmond, Brian Flaherty and Michele Leggott Editors, ALL TOGETHER NOW

The New Zealand Electronic Poetry Centre (*nzepc*) at the University of Auckland is an electronic gateway to poetry resources in New Zealand and the Pacific region. It is coordinated by Michele Leggott and Brian Flaherty with the support of representatives from the University of Auckland Library, Auckland University Press and the Faculty of Arts.
