Description: The World's Fastest Flower is the Canadian Bunchberry Dogwood. It opens in 0.4 milliseconds. This was not discovered until just recently as no camera had been created fast enough to record such information, but now, with cameras that film at ten thousand frames a second, we know. Combining the urgency of the Canadian Bunchberry Dogwood with the suspended time of the lyric poem, this book introduces a courageous and innovative new voice in New Zealand poetry.
