Wellington Group

The movement started with Louis Johnson, who started up the Poetry Yearbook which ran from 1951 to 1964.

In part, it was a reaction to Allen Curnow's dictum of localism in NZ poetry, emphasising universalism, but both the Wellington Group and Curnow liked to use some degree of Māori symbolism.

Another significant publication was Numbers, which ran 1954–1960.
