Moetapu: Complete Poems

by Jon Lawrence

Having offered novels, novellas and plays, Jon Lawrence now offers his first volume of poetry. Moetapu considers some of the darker aspects of life (grief, depression) but often with a quirky humour, while other poems such as The Pigeon are simply hilarious.
