| Publisher Description: Passionate and carefully crafted, this collection of poetry offers an unflinching exploration of life and death and of the spirit s relationship to the world. Charting the drifts and tides of intimate relationships, these poems emerge out of a profound connection with the stunning New Zealand landscape, which is experienced as nurturing and menacing, tender and indifferent. Mapping the complex ties between family members, especially the changing relationship between a mother and her children, to detailing an encounter with alife-threatening illness to exploring extreme states of physical awareness, the journey through these artful selections is at once richly natured and strange." |
