The rope walk

by Maria McMillan

On This Page

Description

The poems in this non-chronological collection tell the story of generations of a fictional family, from rope-makers in 18th-century Scotland, to shipboard migrants in the mid-19th century on their way to New Zealand, and finally a rope-climbing aerialist. This hand-bound volume features a hand-printed cover.

It's taken a long time for Wellington poet Maria McMillan's first collection to appear, but the wait has been worth it: this collection, another beautiful job of production from poet and publisher Helen Rickerby's Seraph Press, is a good showcase for Maria's poetry and is well worth reading. You can see a sample poem from the collection here:
