Faster than a speeding simile!
Able to leap hyperbole in a single bound!
Can Poetryman rescue the damsel from catastrophic cliches
Award-winning poet Glenn Colquhoun’s innovative new collection describes his ten year relationship with his former wife … through all its highs, cries, lies and sighs.
Vivid imagery — colourful storytelling — bittersweet humour … this is poetry for anyone who has ever fallen in, or out, of love.
She kissed me first.
She will deny it
but she did.
I was there at the time
at least
in the beginning

Twelve months of a laureate: in 2008 Michele Leggott wrote a poem a week to record her term as the inaugural New Zealand Poet Laureate. In her new collection of poems Mirabile Dictu ('mi.rah.buh.lay dik.tu' - Wonderful to relate; amazing to say), she relates the wonders of those 12 months, which took her to Matahiwi Marae in Hawke's Bay to receive her brilliant sky-blue, specially carved tokotoko, Te Kikorangi; through a time of mourning for and celebration of former poet laureate Hone Tuwhare; to Florence, across a 'poetic bridge'; and to Wellington 'hand to hand' with four other laureates. With her is Te Kikorangi as guide and companion - 'almost as good as the blue from Kapiti/ we eat when the good times roll'. Leggott also delves back into the past, layering poems of today with poems of then - and finds, among others, Isabella - growing up in a colonial town, 'named for a grandmother over the sea'. The poems in Mirabile Dictu are ...

Kevin Ireland

Kevin Ireland’s sixteenth book of poems takes a wry, comic-serious look at the glorious ways we fritter away our days. It opens with reflections on airports – those necessary yet infuriating hijackers of our time and patience – then returns home again to puzzle at, satirise and celebrate the intricate and devious manner in which we fill our minds, hopes and activities with rich delays, breathless foolishness and gorgeous squanderings. As Ireland puts it:
From the first moment
of forgetfulness to the final
going down of whatever it was,
there’s nothing but talk and wine
and books and food. Life is enriched
by indolence. I think of things
not done as buried treasure.

Winner, Montana New Zealand Book Awards, 2003 (Poetry Section & Reader's Choice).
Glenn Colquhoun’s The Art of Walking Upright won the 2000 Montana NZ best first book award for poetry. He has also published a children’s book and An Explanation of Poetry to my Father, which sold over 1000 copies.
This new collection of poems is based on Glenn’s experiences as a doctor, a profession often described as — or accused of — ‘playing God’. Often funny, sometimes serious, always compassionate, the poems explore a range of medical experience as diverse and dramatic as life itself.
First published 2002.
