Review
"Gordon selects specific, defined childhood events - real or imagined, who knows, and does it matter? - to impart intense universal pictures of feeling. That's the trick of poetry, where the unique reaches out to the reader. . . . A delightful book." - Anne Kennedy, Academy of New Zealand Literature"I am musing on the way, as we write poems, as we insert ourselves above, between, behind and in the lines, we always become second person, whether past present future. . . . Second Person is fresh, layered and utterly captivating." - Paula Green, NZ Poetry Shelf"These poems spoke to a sense of longing to travel and experience new things, which is in opposition to the reality of being confined to home in this strange new global scenario. Rata's poems are wide-ranging and evoke the very familiar (home, Aotearoa, family) and the new and thrilling (India, San Francisco, new lovers)." - Claire Mabey
