A New Zealander by birth, Eppstein explores in these poems the arc of an expatriate's sense of dislocation through a deepening attachment to the adopted land and engagement with its people and politics.

Quickening

Order Book Online
In this chapbook Eppstein expresses her sense of the connectedness of all things, from rocks to human life. She poses questions about our relationship as humans to the world around us - to wildflowers growing by the side of a road, to newts journeying to the clear streams of their birth. She embraces the cycles of life, from the quickening of an unborn child to premonitions of death.
