A stoic recovery of disordered seasons

<p><em>A stoic recovery of disordered seasons</em> speaks of quietude and contemplation both within stillness and in movement. This is a beautifully generous bunch of poems that makes time for meditative close-ups for remembering and seeing. Nicola has such an enviable control on the page. She is a poet of place as </p><p>much as memory. Her eye and her ear are as finely attuned as it's possible for a poet's to be. </p><p></p><p>- Hinemoana Baker (author of <em>mātuhi | needle kōiwi kōiwi | bone bone waha | mouth</em> and <em>funkhaus</em>).</p>
