The Desert

This long poem THE DESERT has taken over twenty years to be completed. Amazing ... This poem is excellent and so profound, very evocative of an immigrant child's experience. New Zealand and Europe: so dissonant and yet somehow harmonious. Really resonated for me ..." - Deb Filler"This poem is beautiful ... Real quality redolent of the sixties ... The Greek characters are infused in seamlessly ... It was a joy to read." - Ian Sinclair"Chris' Moisa's extraordinary poem ... Has taken me by surprise ... I was overwhelmed by what I read I was gripped and horrified and amused and uplifted, by my first reading - followed by a second reading that confirmed all these impressions - but more than that, I was totally bowled away by its construction ...The poem is a poetic memoir, a chronicle, a story of adventure and discovery, and a reflection of human experience, and on the mysteries, terrors, rewards and exaltations of all existence."- Kevin Ireland"I absolutely loved it and feel it has power equal to that of The Wasteland" - Carol Webb
