'The idea of poetry is a shared language that helps us to hold up a mirror to the worlds so we can make something happen, from a declaration of love to a call for change', writes New Zealand Poet Laureate Chris Tse in his introduction to Ōrongohau | Best New Zealand Poems 2023.
Hear Chris introduce Hana Pera Aoake, Cadence Chung, harold coutts, Leah Dodd, Isla Huia, Arihia Latham, Jackson McCarthy, Hannah Mettner, Sinead Overbye, Emma Shi, Tracey Slaughter, Stacey Teague, and Marjory Woodfield as they read work from this annual anthology in a warm-up for National Poetry Day.
