This is a first collection from a significant new voice in New Zealand poetry. Through fun and gore, love and monsters, Sugar Magnolia Wilson’s riveting first collection takes readers inside a world where past and present, fiction and fact, author and subject collide. Playful and yet not so sunny, these poems invite you in with extravagant and surprising imagery, only to reveal the uneasy, Frankenstein world within.
Sugar Magnolia Wilson completed her MA in creative writing at the International Institute of Modern Letters at Victoria University of Wellington. Her work has been published in the literary journals Turbine, Shenandoah, Cordite, Food Court, Landfall, and Sport.
It is an outstanding first collection from a significant new voice in contemporary New Zealand poetry.
