NZ Poetry

Alistair Te Ariki CampbellÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂs new collection contains a moving account of a happy childhood in the Cook Islands, as well as reflections on a recent visit to Rarotonga as an honoured guest. A powerful poem on the Parihaka outrage shows his sensitivity to Maori issues. Comic and witty poems range alongside the kind of eloquent lyric for which he is noted.
