Description
The judging panel found Marsh's collection exhilarating: "The poems are sensuous but strong, using lush imagery and clear rhythms and repetitions to power them forward." Touching on the poet's community, ancestry, influences, and history, this debut collection of poetry lives up to the meaning behind the artist's name-""writer of tales."" The featured verse is sensuous but strong, using lush imagery, clear rhythms, and repetitions to power it forward.
Reviews / Votes
'Marsh's first book of poems is bold, fascinating, foolhardy, risky, on-the-edge stuff - but it seems to work. Her poems leap and twist with the dexterity of buzzing UFOs hanging around the Pacific.' - Hamesh Wyatt, Otago Daily TimesMore details
