Anne French

Dominated by a number of pieces on sailing, this is the third volume of poetry by the author of All Cretans are Liars and The Male as Evader.

Cabin Fever

The poems in All Cretans are Liars are written for friends, lovers, for a small son, for explaining solitude or betrayal - they start out this way but soon take on their own life and walk out to meet us. Anne French sees her poems as small fictions, where intense personal experiences are crafted into elegant and ironic artefacts. This voice is warm, honest and sophisticated. All Cretans are Liars is an accomplished first collection by a poet who became a leading New Zealand voice.

Traditionally, British portraits have concentrated on the upper classes and the famous. This book explores the servant, be it in a grand or modest house, in the country or town, telling a fascinating story about power, class and human relationships spanning over 400 years of social and economic history.
