VINCENT O'SULLIVAN ~ SELECTED POEMS

O'Sullivan's use of a robust New Zealand vernacular gives his poetry a particular pungency and energy.

This book brings together a generous selection from his work. The acclaimed sequence 'Brother Jonathan, Brother Kafka' (1980) is especially well represented, and there are also two dozen new poems, written since the publication of his last collection in 1986.

Vincent O'Sullivan is one of New Zealand's foremost literary figures. He has published eight collections of poetry over more than two decades, and he is also known as a playwright, short story writer, anthologist, editor, and critic.
