| Publisher Description: This fifth volume of poetry from a beloved New Zealand troubadour includes new work and some old favorites, including "Sad Joke on a Marae" and "Coca-Cola Jesus and Mitsubishi Mary." Taylor's poems vary in tone, from rage to quiet meditation, and unusual layouts of letters and words are used to visually enhance his themes. Explored topics include nature and landscape, love and war, poverty and racism, and the poet's Maori ancestry. |
