Author: Bill Manhire
Title: Doubtful Sounds
Description: University of Wellington Press 2000 Paperback, 295pp. Essays and interviews (Victoria University Press essays and interviews) Bill Manhire takes the books and poems he loves out of the pupil and lecture hall and returns them to their readers. In these pages unlikely people rub shoulders - Ralph Hotere and Philip Larkin, Sylivia Plath and James K. Baxter, Maurice Gee and Laura Ranger - Then along the way Manhire investigates why the world's best poems sound like dirty songs, tell outrageous lies, and thrive on their own mistakes. These essays and interviews will not tell you what to think, but they will probably inspire you to do your own thinking. (ISBN: 9780864733702). Good.
