Journal Box, The

Smither, Elizabeth

Four journals kept at different times over the last 20 years by New Zealand's 2002 poet laurerate record her feelings, friends, events, literary and religious ideas, gardens, clothes and more. Essential to the smooth running of a wheel is the journal, the end of the axle resting on the bearings and housed in the journal box. This journal box contains four journals kept at different times over the last twenty years by distinguished poet Elizabeth Smither and showing the essential mechanisms, the complex structures of thought and image, by which her writing moves forward. She records with wit and charm a rich life of the mind and of the feelings, and the journals, beautifully written, teem with vivid sense impressions. Quirky, individual, highly intelligent, they give an engaging picture of a creative and original personality.
