"WORK is a collection of eight long poems that use technical language to explore human situations. For example, the poem 'Glaciers' uses the language of glaciology to describe the relationship between a couple after the birth of their child. Another poem, 'Addis Ababa', uses the technical language of translation to tell the story an Ethiopian man who migrates to New Zealand in the late 1990s"--Publisher information.
