About this ebook
A poem is a vote. It chooses freedom of imagination, freedom of critical thought, freedom of speech. A collection of political poems in its very essence argues for the power of the democratic voice. Here New Zealand poets from diverse cultures, young and old, new and seasoned, from the Bay of Islands to Bluff, rally for justice on everything from a degraded environment to systemically embedded poverty; from the long, painful legacy of colonialism to explosive issues of sexual consent. Communally these writers show that political poems can be the most vivid and eloquent calls for empathy, for action and revolution, even for a simple calling to account. American poet Mark Leidner tweeted in mid-2016 that A vote is a prayer with no poetry'. Here, then, are 101 secular prayers to take to the ballot box in an election year. But we think this book will continue to express the nation's hopes every political cycle: the hope for equality and justice. Two small but potent words. 101 potent poems. Stand up, write back!
