Overview

A striking collection of essays celebrating an extraordinary year in New Zealand writing.

Judging the Landfall Essay Competition, Emma Neale faced a challenge: the high quality of submissions made it impossible to choose. This collection showcases the best, offering diverse perspectives on New Zealand life and culture.

Strong Words 2019 features thought-provoking and emotionally resonant essays that explore personal experiences, social issues, and the power of language. It's a celebration of New Zealand voices, perfect for readers seeking insightful social commentary and a deeper understanding of the human condition. Discover a world that can at once 'sting us wide awake' and yet also 'fix us in a trance which is not sleep but rather an intensification of life'.
