Perch

Finally, a ta-da moment. The city.

It’s a wonderful moment: when you first see the great bowl of harbour and city from Pine Hill after a long drive south.

Perch is another ta-da moment. Sixty poets, often in brilliant collaboration, celebrate Otepoti Dunedin’s ten years as Aotearoa New Zealand’s UNESCO City of Literature. It’s rare to find a collection so infused with place: Dunedin’s moods, seasons, sounds, colours, present and past come alive with photographic clarity.
