And So It Is

Hot on the heels of Being Here, which was chosen by the NZ Listener as one of the poetry highlights of 2015, comes this dazzling collection of seventy-five new poems by Vincent O'Sullivan.

Vincent O’Sullivan (1937–2024) was one of New Zealand’s leading writers. His novels include Let the River Stand, which won the 1994 The Montana NZ Book Awards, Believers to the Bright Coast, which was shortlisted for the 2001 Tasmania Pacific Region Prize, and All This by Chance (2018), which was shortlisted for the 2019 Acorn Foundation Fiction Prize. Vincent also wrote many plays and collections of short stories and poems, and was awarded a series of writer’s residencies and research fellowships.
