Description

You part the fronds Plant Woman has arranged for you, creating a curious weft in the order of disclosure - like a generation that looks back to look forward - because those who cannot remember the pasta are condemned to reheat it. With his sixth poetry collection, highly rated New Zealand poet James Brown is back to flood another chamber. `teeth and claws, poetic sensibility, and stimulating peculiarities' -Elizabeth Knox on James Brown
