Whisper of a Crow's Wing

This remarkable second collection is the work of a poet with a distinct and powerful voice. These poems weigh and examine oppositions - the distance of time and place, the balance of life and death, the poet's New Zealand home and her Irish heritage. Cullinane conjures the ghosts that haunt places and objects; our inner and outer world, with rich, physical language. Originally from Ireland, Majella Cullinane has lived in New Zealand since 2008. She won the 2017 Caselberg International Prize for Poetry, and has been shortlisted for the Strokestown and Bridport International Poetry Prizes.
