A well-loved New Zealand poet returns to territory that will be familiar to all readers in this collection of verse that takes on the uncelebrated, even mundane aspects of everyday life: family, work, suburbia. The book is divided into three sections. The first deals with a midlife career change; the second looks back to a period earlier in the poet’s life, when she was a receptionist for a television company; and the third is a more intimate, bittersweet offering of personal poems. With her moving, lyrical lines, the author documents and ties together the sounds, shapes, and experience of human existence.
