Michael Gould
Biography
Michael Gould is the author of Surrealism and the Cinema: Open-eyed Screening (1976), one of the first books in English on this topic. Choosing not to pursue an academic career, he opted for a life of adventure, travel and (some very) odd jobs, then settled into a quiet mid-life in Wellington. Coming to poetry later in life, now in his mid-seventies, his poems have appeared in publications both academic and popular, in Aotearoa New Zealand; Australia; the UK; and the USA and Canada. In 2021 he was awarded by the NZ Society of Authors and noted as an emerging writer.
