I am a Human Being

Author(s): Jackson Nieuwland

NZ Poetry

The debut collection from one of Aotearoa's most exciting emerging poets. Take part in a new transformation with every new page as the speaker becomes by turns an egg, multiple trees, a town crier, a needle in a haystack, and a cone of blue light in this incisive and pathos-filled exploration of what it means to be anything at all.
