Home is a classic Landfall Open House issue, where anything and everything goes. Submissions poured in on every topic conceivable, and the result is truly a feast of good writing and imagination. Courtney Sina Meredith, Emma Barnes, Kay McKenzie Cooke, Tony Beyer and C K Stead (among others) offer up new poems exploring topics as disparate as the body, the corner dairy, 'cloud' technology, silent film stars and more. All make for exhilarating reads. Be enchanted too by a wealth of short stories: Alex Wild Jespersens deftly humorous tale of a media studies tutor's first experience with girl-on-girl boxing, Vivienne Plumbs The Cabin Trunk, David Herkts story set in the rarefied world of the uber-wealthy at the height of the financial crisis and Laura Solomon's futuristic piece about a Kiwi cult that breeds 'shumans' (sheep/humans). This 2012 Otago University Press Paperback is in good condition. ISBN: 9781877578434 SKU: 1577615 Note: Any image shown is from a stock photo and is not the actual book.
