Bøger af Owen Marshall

Rich in the themes and preoccupations that have made this author's novels so admired, this fine collection of poetry provides wise, elegiac poems on love and loss, affectionate poems about the New Zealand countryside, and witty poems about human frailty.

Delving both into ''the worlds of the mind'' and ''where he happens to be'', Owen Marshall brings us poetry that is steeped in the Classics, history and literature, and yet is alive with the vivid particulars of damp duffle-coats and hot-air balloons, beer and bicycles, willows and skylarks, kauri gum and limestone tunnels.
