Recenzii
‘Some books change how we read. Others change how we think about language itself. Short | Poto: The Big Book of Small Stories, accomplishes both, presenting 100 flash fiction pieces in English and te reo Māori to create one of New Zealand's first truly bilingual literary anthologies’ — Savannah Patterson, Kete Books
‘Reading Short | Poto is an exercise in precision and perspective. These stories demand careful attention and reward slow, deliberate engagement. The form allows readers to pause, reflect, and return - finding something new each time. The dual-language structure encourages a richer, more inclusive reading experience, where te ao Māori and te ao Pākehā sit alongside one another in harmony and tension’ — Chris Reed, NZ Booklovers
‘A celebration of spare, condensed focus’ — Tom McKinlay, Otago Daily Times
‘A world first’ — Victoria Meakin, The Press
‘A taonga for learners of language’ — Mary-Anne Stone, Bookenz
