Doubtful Sounds: Essays and Interviews

Manhire, Bill

Bill Manhire isn’t only one of New Zealand’s best poets, he’s also a short story writer, anthologist, teacher, prankster, family man, Antarctic enthusiast, ballroom dancer ..... Doubtful Sounds is an exciting miscellany of Manhire’s writing on all of the above and more. Gathered here are pieces of poetry from his widely read “Poetry File” and talks on National Radio, interviews and autobiographical essays, along with mischievous squibs and parodies. This volume has all the elements of surprise, subversion, musicality and playfulness that are Manhire’s trademarks.
