‘the wit, the linguistic juggling, the excellence of the ear which can turn a daggy Kiwi phrase to a new sophistication…the bravura pieces, full of surprises and shifting emotional depth.’—Bernadette Hall, Evening post hbk$49.95 pbk $34.95

Oh There You Are Tui! DINAH HAWKEN

Dinah Hawken's New and Selected Poems contains the majority of the poems from her pervious books, plus a substantial group of new poems.

‘Hawken's range and depth, her recurring proccupations, her ability to shift through different forms and not sound like the same poet she was when she began, are all the marks of someone fully in control of her art and using it to go deeper, further, somewhere old and somewhere new.’—Lydia Wevers, Listener $29.95
