Maukatere

Author(s): Bernadette Hall

NZ Poetry

Maukatere: Floating Mountain is a single long poem sequence that explores and celebrates life below Maukatere (Mt Grey) in the Hurunui.


The more experimental style is an exciting development for one of New Zealand's most eminent poets and winner of the 2015 Prime Minister's Award for Literary Achievement for poetry.


Maukatere features 10 exquisite drawings by Rachel O'Neill. It is published in a handsome hand-bound and hand-numbered limited first edition of 170.
