Bent Window Books is a publisher of poetry chapbooks focusing on Australian writers, with the occasional chapbook from elsewhere.
Ivy Alvarez extends best wishes and congratulations to Gregory Kan, Makyla Curtis, Jamie Trower, Chris Tse, and Louise Wallace, whose work features in Best New Zealand Poems 2017, and which she had initially selected for the New Zealand/Aotearoa edition of Atlanta Review.
Only 25 poets appear in Best New Zealand Poems — that five of the poems initially chosen for Atlanta Review are also fêted in this way is worthy of celebration.
Ivy Alvarez joins MC Vaughan Rapatahana and other poets reading at LOUNGE on Wednesday, 18 April 2018, starting from 5.30 pm.
