Landfall editor Lynley Edmeades, associate professor Peter Simpson, David Kārena-Holmes, and Carolyn McCurdie from Octagon Poetry Collective. The anthology includes “poems of outrage, essays of research and political outcries”, which were compiled in response to the ongoing activity at the National Library. Earlier this month the library announced it would donate about 600,000 of the books it planned to cull from its overseas collection to the Internet Archive, a digital library with the stated mission of universal access to all knowledge. It will make digital copies of the works freely available online. The move will free up space for the National Library to store more New Zealand and Pasifika works.
