A collection of poetry written by Kevin Anthony Smith at his soul-place – Aotea/Great Barrier Island – located just off Auckland New Zealand. Lithe and muscular, occasionally stark, often in awe of nature Aotea and Beyond traverses life, death and relationships. With its range of experiences around the world it is an iconic take on Smith’s philosophy – and his views on the paradox between the transitory nature of life and the deep lastingness of nature.
