It's a compilation that tries to capture an snapshot of what's going on in this south pacific powerhouse of contemporary poetry.
Johanna Emeney is the guest editor this year. She's expanded the definition of poetry this year to include spoken word and Instagram.
She thinks the new mediums poetry is creeping into in the digital age are exciting and she joins Jesse to explain why.

Today Sarah Johnston from Ngā Taonga Sound & Vision will share some excerpts from these programmes which show the diversity of our Muslim migrant community, 30 years ago. Listen to more online episodes of the 1990s series “A Strange Land.”

3:10 Steven Levy on Facebook's inside story
Every month, 2.5 billion people use the largest social network in the world, Facebook. What could possibly go wrong? The company line is that the good Facebook does by connecting people around the world outweighs the bad. On March 15th last year, New Zealand witnessed the depths of the downside when the mosque shootings in Christchurch were on Facebook live.
Wired's editor at large Steven Levy is granted unprecedented access to Mark Zuckerberg and other key players to look at this company that is so pervasive and problematic at the same time. His new book is called Facebook, The Inside Story.
