David Eggleton

DAVID EGGLETON is a Dunedin-based poet and writer. He has published five collections of poetry. His most recent collection is Fast Talker, published in 2006 by Auckland University Press.

Eggleton comments: ‘ “The Weather Bomb” is a poem that derives from an extremely powerful storm that struck the lower half of the North Island of New Zealand in February 2004. It seemed, in its magnitude and intensity, to be a transforming event, an epic moment with many resonances.’
