This generous and exciting collection brings together poems of Christchurch and the hills and plains beyond. Like the patchwork pattern of fields so characteristic of the Canterbury Plains, the book is a mosaic of moods, colours and variety. Poems of the past mix with poems of today; old favourites rub shoulders with new voices. Reflective poems, quirky poems, passionate poems, wry poems; poems that will move, amuse, startle and delight. Together they make up a memorable picture of the region and its people.This is a collection you will want to return to again and again.

The editors, Bernadette Hall and James Norcliffe (both of whom have lived and worked in Christchurch for many years), are distinguished New Zealand poets.
