ISBN: 1869404033 ISBN-13: 9781869404031 Publisher: Auckland University Press OUR PRICE: $17.96 Product Type: Paperback Published: May 2008 Annotation: This poetry anthology was conceived as something of a stunt to heighten the visibility of New Zealand writers. All the contributors are New Zealanders, and all of the more than 100 poems address the topic of sex--not love, just sex. The result is a collection that tackles sex from every angle, including the comic (Karl Stead's "The Clodian Songbook"), the confessional (Rachel McAlpine's "A Frightened Poem about My Breasts"), the metaphysical (James K. Baxter's "On the Death of Her Body"), and the just plain horny (Vincent O'Sullivan's "Remembering Westmere"). |
