Notes

154 p Poems, some previously published in journals and anthologies Summary: In 2008 Michele Leggott wrote a poem a week to record her term as the inaugural New Zealand Poet Laureate. In this collection, she relates the wonders of those 12 months, which took her to Matahiwi Marae in Hawke's Bay to receive her brilliant sky-blue, specially carved tokotoko, Te Kikorangi; through a time of mourning for and celebration of former poet laureate Hone Tuwhare; to Florence, across a 'poetic bridge'; and to Wellington 'hand to hand' with four other laureates
