Title: A matter of timing
First published: 1996
Description: In this, her first collection of new poems since Summer Near the Arctic Circle in 1988, Lauris Edmond is looking inwards, to the changes in perception that become evident with age, as well as outwards, to one's place in the wider world and the links between the generations. In A Matter of Timing one of New Zealand's finest poets, winner of the 1985 Commonwealth Poetry Prize, is at the height of her powers, writing with urgency and passion and unflinching recognition of 'the death, the indestructibility, of days'.
Subjects: New Zealand poetry, Women poets
