Overview

In Unseasoned Campaigner, poet Janet Newman uncovers territory ripe for exploration. Juxtaposing the often-troubled realities of commercial farming with ever-unfolding family relationships, these beautifully crafted poems speak to blood, sinew, and sweat, as well as to matters of the conscience and heart. Unseasoned Campaigner declares the arrival of an exciting new voice in New Zealand poetry.
