The covers of three NZ books I've just bought: "The pets we have killed", short fiction by Barbara Else, "Te WhΔriki: Reading ten new poets from Aotearoa" - poetry and criticism edited by Anna Jackson, Dougal McNeill and Robert Sullivan, and "Standing on my shadow" - poetry by Serie Barford.
New books - yum.

Photo of book cover Catherine Chidgey the Book of Guilt with a drawing of a beach, with a woman and young boy, maybe 10, running towards the viewer.
Catherine Chidgey just never misses, easily one of my favourite writers. Perfectly snappy but descriptive and such interesting stories - her writing sucks you in quick and doesn't let u go really ever #aotearoabooks #pukapuka

If you are an NZ writer or publisher (or adjacent) who is appalled by the genocide taking place in Gaza, please join me in signing this open letter, demanding our government take concerted action to call it out.

Lots of current activity in AoNZ is because of political decisions or has political impacts. More low key posts may be on other media.
There's also Aotearoa New Zealand #books feed.
