Lynn Davidson — How To Live By The Sea
Victoria University Press 2009 Paperback, 74pp. Settle for disorder. All summer you will swim before you wake. Captured within this vivid and engaging collection of poems are the tides of order and disorder - the multitudinous vitality of the shoreline, the warmth and wildness of family, Mediaeval Fools and the excitement of late night Cuba Street. Lynn Davidson is the author of two previous collections of poetry, Tender, and Mary Shelley's Window, and a novel, Ghost Net. Her poetry and short stories have appeared in Sport, Landfall, Turbine and The Red Wheelbarrow. In 2003 she was awarded the Louis Johnson Writer's Bursary. (ISBN: 9780864735997). Very Good.
