"This is a book I've been keenly awaiting. We've printed a number of Vaughan's poems in Poetry New Zealand and I've come to admire and respect what he writes. His poems merge his concerns for the human and natural worlds into a unity that reflects the human condition and its expression in internal and external experience." - Alistair Paterson onzm.
