Following a long and much enjoyed career as a high school teacher in Dunedin and Christchurch, she has for the last eighteen years lived in a renovated bach at Amberley Beach in the Hurunui, North Canterbury, where she has built up a beautiful garden. Fancy Dancing is her eleventh collection of poetry. 'It's as close as I'll ever get to writing an autobiography,' she says, laughing. And as for the wilful sonnets that explode in the final pages of this book, she wonders where on earth they came from. 'It was such fun writing them,' she says, 'as if I'd kicked down the stable doors and taken to the hills.' In 2015 she collaborated with Robyn Webster on Matakaea, Shag Point, an art /text installation exhibited at the Ashburton Art Gallery. In the same year she was awarded the Prime Minister's Award for literary achievement in poetry. In 2017 she was made a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to literature in Aotearoa New Zealand."--Back cover. 500 $a Poems. 505 0 $a Under Erebus -- Mukluk -- The ponies -- Sastrugi -- Heaven -- Snap -- The history of Europe -- Underground -- How we all died with her in the London bombing -- Wai-te-ata -- Snow falling -- Pastorale -- The white dress -- The River Whau -- Three wishes -- Rathcoola rain -- The holy ground -- The scar -- The Naad Bog -- The glass harmonica -- The mapmaker -- The Pikemen -- The fox -- Jacaranda -- Leda at the billabong -- Really & truly -- Lost -- Girl on a divan -- The lustre jug -- Hedge -- The view from the lookout -- In search of happiness -- The favour -- Ravenswood -- A letter to Shu Hoong -- The heart jumps up in fear to see the mouths -- Just a moment please -- Manaia -- Aboriginal -- The day death turned up on the beach -- Staunton -- The book -- Living out here on the plains -- Tulliver's maze -- On entering the emporium -- The perfumes of Arabia -- Actaeon -- The seafarer -- Somewhere near Balcairn -- 'I give thee the sun as guarantee' -- The landscape of Longing -- Fancy dancing -- Mister Hamilton's Library -- Dear John upstanding-house -- Compost. 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 650 0 $a New Zealand poetry $y 21st century. 650 7 $a New Zealand poetry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01036808 655 4 $a New Zealand poetry $y 20th century. $5 Nz 655 7 $a Poetry. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117033217.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=447206384EAA11EDAB62559A42ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
