Essential New Zealand Poems celebrates six months in best-seller list
This appealing collection, co-edited by Siobhan Harvey, James Norcliffe and Harry Ricketts has just achieved its 26th week/ 6 month in the New Zealand Top 10 Bestsellers charts.
Quite surprising really that poetry in New Zealand can achieve this. I am both surprised and delighted.,
