Description

Bub Bridger lives on a hill overlooking Wellington airport. 'I live there,' she says, 'because I live high in the sun with breathtaking views of the sea and the hills and the sky...'

She did not begin writing poetry until she was 60, when a visit to Ireland changed her life. 'I started to think poetry. It was the most incredible experience. I came home to New Zealand and I couldn't get it down fast enough and I haven't stopped.'
In this, her first collection, the reader will discover poems that sing with rhythm and the lilt of Ireland, poems as 'bold as brass' that face life head on with an irrepressible joy and vigour. There are quiet moments too, but even here humour, resilience and generosity of spirit always shine through. Above all, there is colour, vivid colour. And the dreams are dreams one can touch.
