\"\"<\/a>On Tuesday 23 August, as editor on the Tuesday Poem Hub<\/strong><\/a>, I featured Rhian Gallagher’s<\/strong> poem, Butterfly<\/strong><\/em>, from her new collection Shift<\/strong><\/span>, which is being published by both Auckland University Press<\/strong><\/a>, here in NZ, and Enitharmon<\/strong><\/a> in the UK.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, I received my own copy of Shift<\/strong><\/span> in the post—and am very much looking forward to getting in amongst this new collection of Rhian Gallagher’s poetry. I hope to tell you more about it soon, but in the meantime, here’s what the back cover says:<\/p>\n

“Rhian Gallagher\u2019s second collection encompasses a departure from London, where she lived for eighteen years, and a return to the pines and paddocks of the South Island. This mid-life shift involves acts of retrieval, confrontations with loss and movements towards renewal: \u2018Belonging was always touch \/ touch and go.\u2019 At the heart of the book is an intimate testament to a relationship – sensual, direct, contradictory – celebrating the evolution of deep connection between two women. Meditative, at times urgent, this evocative collection will earn Rhian Gallagher a well-deserved place in the New Zealand poetic landscape.”<\/em><\/p>\n

In addition to Butterfly<\/em>, you can read another poem from Shift<\/strong><\/span>,\u00a0 Lagoon, <\/em>on Helen Heath’s blog, here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
