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 building 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 and Drama) and Jacob Powell (Te Tumu Herenga | Libraries and Learning Services), with the support of Te Tumu Herenga, 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 in 2020 consists of Michele Leggott (chair), Makyla Curtis, Murray Edmond, Brian Flaherty, Selina Tusitala Marsh, Jacob Powell and Lisa Samuels.
