Night Shifts: word from the heartland

NIGHT SHIFTS reaffirms Pat White’s preoccupation with landscape, love, history, and nature in poems that have been described by Jack Ross as “beautiful, unassuming and perfectly paced, all at the same time”(Poetry New Zealand Yearbook 2020). Reviewing Pat White’s Watching for the Wingbeat (Cold Hub Press 2017), Janet Hughes wrote of a poet “attuned to the natural world and rural environments as settings for deep and wide reflection, filtered through scholarship” (New Zealand Review of Books, Autumn 2019).
