A Kiwi In Kerala by Noel Ginn

After a colourful and productive career in New Zealand and Australia, Noel Ginn lived out much of his retirement in a village in Kerala, the lush southern state of India. Remembered as a conscientious objector jailed in World War II, Noel Ginn published profound poems in 1998 in his Dweller on the Threshold. Interest in his experiences and perceptions grew with Paul Millar's 2002 Spark to A Waiting Fuse, about Ginn's influential correspondence with the young poetic prodigy James K Baxter. Noel Ginn's Kerala journals are fragrant with the spice of daily life in India and rich with his reflections - sometimes passionate, often subtle - on life's transitions. Observing within and between the cultures of India and Aotearoa New Zealand, Noel Ginn writes with an acute eye, aroha and gentle humour. - back cover. This 2008 Steele Roberts Aotearoa Limited Paperback is in near mint condition.
