Synopsis

Wonky Optics is Geoff Cochrane’s fifteenth collection of poems. ‘The Cochrane tone is one of the great pleasures in our literature—and somehow sweeter for appearing not to be part of that literature.’ —Damien Wilkins ‘Over the years, Cochrane’s work has been a joy to me, a solace, a proof that art can be made in New Zealand which shows us ourselves in new ways.’ —Pip Adam
