About Sleeping on Horseback
In her first collection, Frances Samuel leads us
into the lives of characters we have not met before in New Zealand poetry. A
man with a snorkel trawls fountains for coins; a vending machine produces a
sailboat; a zookeeper frees all of his animals; we look for our double so that
we can join the ark before it sails. Each step forward clears a path of snow,
and contemplates the question ‘How do we get there?’ These journeys, surreal as
well as everyday, are mapped with an exuberant imagination and intelligence
