DescriptionThis Selected Poems presents the best of Geoff Cochrane's many published collections, from Aztec Noon (1992) to Chosen (2020). 'Geoff Cochrane's is a whole world, rendered in lines at once compressed and open, mysterious and approachable.' -Damien Wilkins 'Over the years, Cochrane's work has been a joy to me, a solace, a proof that art can be made in New Zealand which shows ourselves in new ways.' -Pip Adam 'Everyone reading local poetry has, or should have, a Geoff Cochrane moment, a blissful book in which they discover his compressed, "courtly" (as Damien Wilkins once described Geoff's writing) poetry mined from his singularly Wellington life, past and present. . . . He was intense, committed, thoughtful, isolated and, in his own way, courageous.' -James Brown |
