Tumble

Author(s): Joanna Preston

NZ - Poetry / Plays

Award-winning poet Joanna Preston's beautifully crafted second collection charts a course for the journey from child to woman. Her voice swoops the reader from the ocean depths to the roof of the world, from nascent saints, Viking raids and fallen angels to talking cameras and an astronaut in space. tumble is a beautifully crafted collection that traverses traditional forms, the lyric and free verse.
