Poto / Short published by Massey University Press features 100 stories, some only taking up half a page, by 100 New Zealand writers.
They're written in English, but on the very next page, the same story is translated into te reo Māori, as a language learning tool.
It features bite-sized stories from some of New Zealand's literary luminaries, including Bill Manhire, Paula Morris and Owen Marshall.
Editors Michelle Elvy and Kiri Piahana-Wong join Emile Donovan to share what makes a great, short yarn.
