Caren will be printing seven poems: four by well-known prize-winning Australian poets: Les Murray, Sarah Holland-Batt, Robert Adamson, Stephen Edgar; three by well-known New Zealand poets: Michael Harlow, Sue Wootton, and Vincent O’Sullivan.

Limited to 100 copies only, there will be 90 for sale. Retail: NZ$250.00 (incl gst)
