$49.00
Signed and inscribed by the author.
The Art of Walking Upright is Glenn Colquhoun’s acclaimed first collection of poetry, shaped by the year he spent living in Te Tii, a small Māori community in the Bay of Islands. The poems explore belonging, identity, place, Māori and Pākehā relationships, and what it means to find a place to stand in Aotearoa.
This collection won the NZSA Jessie Mackay Award for Best First Book of Poetry at the 2000 Montana New Zealand Book Awards.
