Summary

Auckland is vividly evoked in this sequence of poems capturing the historical, cultural, and geographical character of the city. Originality, affection, and skill create this impression of the layers of Auckland, from its Polynesian roots and volcanic landscape to its Sky Tower and passion for business. The people and voices of the poems bring to life ancient myths and literary traditions and expertly describe the geology, history, culture, and weather of this unique city.

Author Biography

Sue Fitchett is a coauthor of Charts & Soundings and Drawing Together and a contributor to Eat These Sweet Words. She is a registered clinical psychologist.
