"My first impression of India as a whole - of the sight of her face, the sound of her voice - dates back to what I saw from the roof of an old palace in LAhore and from what I heard while listening to a friend. We used to sit, in the evening, in a chubara next to the throne room, and converse about many things. This upper room was a great height.

Auckland: Godwit / Random House. Very Good+ with No dust jacket as issued. (2004). First Edition. Softcover. 1869621085 . This copy signed by the author on the title page. [6], vi,118, [1], vi (index), [2 (blank)] pages. Card covers with flaps. Page dimensions: 266 x 236mm. Black and white photographic illustrations of people in Auckland and Wellington in the 1960s and 1970s, mainly in downtown areas e.g Queen St, Karangahape Road, Courtenay Place. "The photographing of city people, now entitled 'Big Smoke', came of Daley's curiosity about the inhabitants of Wellington and spread at holiday breaks to Auckland. Every available hour was spent walking the streets with his Pentax. People generally didn't know they were being photographed and he became adept at looking nonchalantly in other directions as he worked. This glimpse of Wellington and Auckland from the 1960s and 1970s confirms, for the 'people photographer', intuition is still the most powerful tool,…

Page dimensions: 210 x 139mm. New Zealand poetry. "There are poems in this collection about Dutch Masters, the remembered voice of a deceased soprano, a waterfall, ancient Chinese artefacts, victims of the World Wars, kites and flowers; but each piece is sensitively imbued not only with the poet's awareness of impending death but also with the incorrigible fragility of life. While Dallas is at home in a number of different modes, her high regard for literary tradition as a form of spiritual realism makes her eminently readable as a disciplined watcher of the seasons." ; 16mo .
