Product Information
Shortlisted for NZ Society of Authors Best First Book Award Poetry Category 2007.
Humour is, throughout the book, a quiet presence, popping up unexpectedly during poems about the death of parents, the effects of divorce and parental love. Compartmentalising Amas' poems like this makes them appear heavy, but I assure you, theyrre not. Amy Brown SALIENT Amas's poetry combines evidence of emotional bruising with a sense of tenacity and the importance of laughter. This is poetry with heart, written with a surety that belies the fact that it is a first collection. Laura Fergusson LUMIERE READER ...this is a collection that deserves to find an audience, and which rewards rereading. Hugh Roberts THE LISTENER
