Husk cover

Husk is the first collection of poems by writer Chris Price. Though a debut collection, this is polished, elegant, mature work; it introduces an original new talent. The poems cover a wide range of interests, themes and tones but there is an alertness, a sense of delight about all of them.

‘. . . establishes herself as a major and distinctive poetic talent. . . . she examines the ingredients of her subject in a deliberate, peering way that makes you think of Allen Curnow. . . . This will be an outstanding year for New Zealand poetry if it produces a better book.’ – Guy Allan, NZ Herald
