A book of essays and interviews.
Bill Manhire takes the books and poems he loves out of the pulpit and lecture hall and returns them to their readers.
In these pages unlikely people rub shoulders - Ralph Hotere and Philip Larkin, Sylivia Plath and James K. Baxter, Maurice Gee and Laura Ranger - and along the way Manhire investigates why the world's best poems sound like dirty songs, tell outrageous lies, and thrive on their own mistakes.
These essays and interviews will not tell you what to think, but they will probably inspire you to do your own thinking. They will certainly make you want to go on reading.
