Michael Jackson

Dead Reckoning: paperback Michael Jackson

A wonderful new collection - easy to read and intellectually stimulating - by Michael Jackson, a New Zealander who has lived and worked overseas most of his adult life, "far too long / in another hemisphere", while continuing to publish in New Zealand. This distance and global reach inform the poems in Dead Reckoning, which sprawl from Beirut to Africa, Cape Reinga to Finisterre.
