Beyond the Border and other poems product reviews

Proud to promote NZ products Content in wide, accustomed landscapes
I hear the same wind songs there and bird calls too.
My wanderings have brought me home. a closing spiral towards the centre of everything I've known.

A new poetry collection from master writer Owen Marshall is always to be celebrated, bringing the welcome promise of the same wisdom, subtlety and wit that have won him such admiration for his award-winning short fiction and novels.

Beyond the Border includes poems about the loss of close friends, poems full of memory - and sometime of regret, poems marked by wry humour and rueful self-deprecation. Many are rich in colour and sensation and close observation of the natural landscape. Many speak of the lasting consolations and pleasures of marriage and family, and of both the vicissitudes of old age and its unexpected joys. There is a deeply elegiac quality here, but there is also hope, acceptance, and contentment in a life widely and thoughtfully lived, and the recognition that what lasts, and what means most, is love.

Author: Jane Buxton

A toilet on the run is not a common sight. The people on the street outside received an awful fright ...When Philip the brand new luxury loo discovers what toilets are used for he is not impressed.

Determined to choose his own destiny, Philip runs away. But life is tough for a toilet on the run. Philip just wants to find a home where he won't be plumbed in, sat on and used to dispose of... you know what!

A hilarious picture book with a surprising ending.
