'How would it be if poetry written by women in New Zealand had a house that you could visit, in which you could spend time, and from which you could emerge having made new friends? Luckily, Paula Green has made us such a house. Wild Honey: Reading New Zealand women's poetry brings literary pioneers such as Jessie Mackay, Blanche Baughan, Lola Ridge and Eileen Duggan out of the shadows to stand with contemporary literary provocateurs such as Hera Lindsay Bird and Tayi Tibble.' - Volume Books; 'It is noisy, refreshing and proudly anchored in the domestic . . . Green is an engaging host, throwing open the curtains, whisking off the dust sheets, coursing through different poetic traditions in animated homage to women's writing.' - Sally Blundell, New Zealand Listener; 'A stunning book.' - Read NZ; 'This was an extremely difficult book to review because it merits much more than a linear reading. It's a book that beckons the reader to return to it, with pencil markings and post-it notes.' - Emer Lyons, Landfall
