Selected Poems

Selected Poems (1968-2020) brings together a representative selection from 52 years of Margaret Jeune’s writing-life. It shows the development of her highly distinctive poetry, from rhyming forms to minimalism to more postmodern forms of recent years. The book reveals an accomplished, dedicated and prolific writer. The book includes the work from her published books Flight Paths, Upbeat and My Sketchbook and the anthologies Three Poets and Lockdown: COVID-19 New Zealand, along with 51 uncollected poems and a section of new poems. Also included is an Introduction by Wellington writer and editor Mark Pirie.
