Miss New Zealand: Selected Poems

Bornholdt, Jenny

Jenny Bornholdt is one of the most popular and widely read poets of her generation. Three of her four collections have been shortlisted for New Zealand Book Awards, and the first two are long out of print. Her poems have also established a place in New Zealand popular culture, enlarged on a hairdresser's wall and popping up in a recent Fiona Kidman novel. Quirky, wry and concerned with the everyday, the poems often seem deceptively simple, but Bornholdt has an acute ear for everyday language, and the poems offer an subtlety of tone and irony unequalled in New Zealand poetry.
