| The third poetry collection from Palmerston North poet Tim Upperton. I was Dick. I teased Anne and George. I was Edmund, betrayed my friends for a sweet. Something rotten in me. â from â My childhoodâ In his third poetry collection, award-winning poet Tim Upperton takes us to the end of the driveway, over the ManawatÅ" â twisting like an eel â and on to Topeka and Paris. These are poems of acid wit (â I have been to Paris / and apart from the architecture / and the food and some very fine cemeteries / and of course the language / itâ s quite like Palmerston Northâ ), intimations of loss (â The wrong life cannot be lived rightly. I should knowâ ) and unexpected resolution (â like pollen, / like grace so available nobody wanted itâ ). Unpredictable and restive, A Riderless Horse stands in the everyday and then runs with it. |
