"One of the things that this guide is designed to do, and what Action Ed and
the South Auckland Poet’s Collective do so well, is to create an understanding
of the art form at a ground level, to provide tools for both beginning poets
and educators. It’s a great starting point for anyone who wants to provide
new platforms for youth voice, a compass to navigate the often rebellious
and awkward language of the heart, a blueprint for the future of poetry in
New Zealand and beyond"
