The New Zealand Electronic Poetry Centre (nzepc) was launched in 2001. It is a trial project based in 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 published information, and to present some full-text electronic publication of poetry and commentary in consultation with authors and their publishers. The site is being developed 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.
