Description
A baby grows from a poppyseed, a lizard is chased into dust. Remembering and parents, dreaming of houses, contemplating nature and the nature of contemplation. This is the stuff of Tear Water Tea. Teacher and poet Saradha Koirala lives and workds in Wellington.Tags

This is the second collection by Wellington, NZ poet Saradha Koirala, whom I admire very much for her word choices, which always seem to be exactly right. I enjoyed her first collection, [Wit of the Staircase], and I think "Tear Water Tea" is better yet - more varied in style, more sophisticated in delivery. It's also beautifully illustrated.
You can see a sample poem, which I think captures Saradha's style well, here:
