| â . . . Tonight marks a thousand dry nights and I want to show you something. Itâ s a little cave hollowed out by my thirst, a place for you to live.â In this powerful collection, Amy Leigh Wicks takes the reader on a literal journey from New York City to Wellington and KaikÅ ura, and on an emotional journey from youth into â the dangerous country of love and marriageâ . Wicks produces sharp, sensory poems that circle around love and commitment, migration and isolation. With a powerful narrative and emotional arc, this collection introduces us to an important new voice in New Zealand poetry. â The dark ocean from the window is still, the waves are sparkling as in photographs and all I can think is how I want to cut through the sun setting on the purple horizon with a pair of big scissors.â |
