Illuminating personal trials and triumphs against the backdrop the author's home city of Wellington, New Zealand, this unflinching observation describes a world of jagged and narrow rocks, and shelter from the tepid rain's puce music. Well-crafted and confessional, these poems of literary allusions and memories record the author's life as a poet and his former drinking years.
Geoff Cochrane was born in 1951. He is the author of numerous highly regarded collections of poetry, most recently 84-484, two novels, and two collections of short stories. He lives in Wellington.
