Title: Selected Poems
Author: WEDDE IAN

Ian Wedde has constantly experimented with and pushed boundaries of form and influence in his poetry. With selections from 1971’s Homage to Matisse all the way through to 2013’s The Lifeguard, Ian Wedde’s Selected Poems will introduce readers new and old to one of New Zealand’s most distinguished contemporary poets. Featuring work spanning over five decades, the poet may be forgiven if the poems softened over time – not so with Wedde. Selected Poems shows a prolific lifetime of work from a ranging, tenacious, conceptual-romantic poet. His linguistically rich but intellectually rigorous voice retains all it’s edge, and tracing that voice through a career of over five decades is one of the many pleasures readers will take from this book.
