Rocky Shore, The

Bornholdt, Jenny

Bornholdt's new book, The Rocky Shore, is a collection of six long(ish) poems written over the course of six years. In these talky poems covering big themes, she ranges over a wide variety of territory — love, death, children, illness, bread-making, and the garden. Jenny Bornholdt is one of New Zealand's best-loved poets. She allows her poems to immerse themselves in marvellous details of everyday life. Constantly through the years she has served up poems rich in anecdote and incident. . . . Jenny writes about all the important things in life: love, sex, family and memories — Otago Daily Times
