New books by two of Wellington's best-loved poets:
Victoria University Press warmly invites you to the joint celebration of new books by two of Wellington's best-loved poets:
Wonky Optics by Geoff Cochrane
Half Dark by Harry Ricketts
at Vic Books, Kelburn Parade on 5.30pm–7pm Tuesday 24 February.
Geoff and Harry will give short readings, followed by a book signing. Refreshments will be served. All welcome.
Wonky Optics is Geoff Cochrane’s fifteenth collection of poems. He is also the author of two novels, and Astonished Dice: Collected Short Stories (2014).
Half Dark is deftly crafted from the splinters and spaces of the past. Harry Ricketts has written and edited more than twenty-five books, including literary biographies, personal and critical essays, and poetry.
