Welcome to the New Zealand Electronic Poetry Centre (nzepc) at the University of Auckland

The New Zealand Electronic Poetry Centre ( nzepc) is a project based at the University of Auckland to set up an electronic gateway to poetry resources in Aotearoa/New Zealand and the Pacific region. It aims to coordinate existing archival and publishing information, and to present some full-text electronic publication of poetry and commentary in consultation with authors and their publishers. nzepc also promotes live poetry events as and when resources permit and is committed to extending and documenting locations for poetry in the digital environment and its real-world counterpart. The site was established in July 2001.

nzepc is coordinated and maintained by Michele Leggott ( English Department) and Brian Flaherty (University Library, co-editor of Trout), with the support of the University Library, Auckland University Press and the Faculty of Arts. We are grateful for the cooperation and assistance of the poets whose work appears on the site.

The nzepc board consists of Michele Leggott, Brian Flaherty, Hilary Chung, Murray Edmond, Sam Elworthy, Peter Simpson, Robert Sullivan and Selina Tusitala Marsh. Honoured associates: Elizabeth Caffin and Roger Horrocks.
