From Manoa to a Ponsonby Garden

"In Hawaiʻi Wendt watches the changing shadows of the Koʻolau mountains from his verandah; considers the nature of mauli, the seat of life; walks protected in his partner's perfumed slipstream to work; and writes to fellow poet Hone Tuwhare from the excesses of Las Vegas. In the second half of the book we move to the garden in Ponsonby in 40 'garden' poems. Includes some of Wendt's inky, drawn poems about the Sāmoan tsunami or galu afi. A book about ageing and the consideration of death"--Publisher information.
