Well, there are two very different "Penguin Book(s) of New Zealand Verse" and I am surprised that this version, the less famous, is the one selected.

I have both and have poured over both.

This one, the Wedde version, has a very nice modern New Zealand aspect to it, many recent poets, respect for Maori traditions.

The older, the Allen Curnow, has a mildly confrontational introduction that takes up probably 1/5th of the book and, as discussed in great detail by James K.
