This Selected Poems presents the best of Andrew Johnston's five published collections, from How to Talk (1993) to Fits & Starts (2016).'Andrew Johnson does the best titles. And then he puts the best poems underneath them.' -Bill Manhire'Andrew Johnston's first collection, How to Talk, is a book of such invention, poise, and deceptive simplicity, that the New Zealanders should give him a great deal of time, paper and ink, and prevent his phone from ringing.' -Michael Hulse, PN Review'Andrew Johnston's remarkable collection grew with each rereading, as its rich intellectual and emotional layers continued to reveal themselves. Fits & Starts is a slow-burning tour de force, each image, metaphor, theme deeply, fully imagined.' -Judges' Report, 2017 Ockham New Zealand Book Awards
