Bruce Bisset was a professional performance poet in Aotearoa/New Zealand 1979-86, publishing 3 books in that time. Believing that "performance is half the art", when he stopped performing he stopped publishing. Now in his 70th year he has decided to release this collection of his subsequent work, selected by former poet laureate David Eggleton, spanning the period 1984-2023. Ordered chronologically, it is effectively an autobiography in poetical form. The title reflects the dominant themes as well as bookending his first book, "beginnings".
