註釋A coracle is a small boat of wickerwork but in the poems of Anglican priest Peter Stuart it becomes the ribs of a dying man, and the means by which another makes his way into the next life, having kept vigil at 'eternity's rim'. A coracle is also a kayak taking Peter and his wife, Julia, into Okarito Lagoon and the beauty of the natural world which - on the wings of the kotuku - carries the reader eventually to the white robes of the monks at Kopua, and further to the white invasion of an aboriginal sacred site and a barbecue at Auschwitz with a bunch of money changers. For these poems are angry, too, and political, and take delight in the joyous and sensual. A singular first collection that poses as many questions as it answers.
