DescriptionBuilding on the impressive debut of Good Luck, this new collection from Anna Livesey contains poems that capture the eerie and exhilarating aspects of daily life. All the poems combine a crisp and shapely style with breathtaking openness and urgency in addressing personal material, particularly in the poet's responses to her mother’s illness and her thoughts about living in the United States. Author descriptionAnna Livesey has an MA in Creative Writing from VUW and was the 2003 Schaeffer Fellow at the Iowa Writers' Workshop. Her poems have been published in Sport, Landfall, Takahe, Poetry NZ and Best New Zealand Poems, and she has twice won the Macmillan Brown Prize, for the long poems 'South Seas Analecta' (2000) and 'Napier' (2002), both of which are included her first collection of poetry, Good Luck (2003). |
