Night as Day

Viac o knihe

In her first book, Nikki-Lee Birdsey takes readers from a remote sheep station in the South Island to the neon signs of Queens, from a hotel in Piha to a Walt Whitman Rest Area in New Jersey, from intimately known cities to remembered landscapes. Night as Day describes a New Zealand that is overlapped by the United States and the challenges and almost-joys of navigating between these places, identities, and homecomings. Balancing artistic experimentation with frank expression, these poems are mesmerising in their intelligence and beauty.
