Items related to Afternoon of an Evening Train
A very personal map of New Zealand—from Waiheke Island to Dunedin via the Waihi Beach Dump and Wellington's storm sewers—is laid out in this collection of poems whose emotional territory is as vast as it is geographical. Images of busy intersections, rambling sideshows, and towering cathedrals provide an exhilarating sense of commuter traffic—by road, rail, or air—between known and unknown worlds.
