Craven is an exceptional debut: Jane Arthur delights, unnerves, and challenges in poems that circle both the everyday and the ineffable--piano practice, past lives, and being forced onto dancefloors.
Born in New Plymouth, she lives in Wellington with her family and dogs..
She has a Master of Arts in Creative Writing from the IIML at Victoria University of Wellington.
She has worked in the book industry for over fifteen years as a bookseller and editor.
About the Author Jane Arthur was the recipient of the Sarah Broom Poetry Prize in 2018, judged by Eileen Myles.
This is a smart and disarming collection that traces the ever-changing forms of light and dark in our lives, and how our eyes adjust, despite ourselves, as we go along.
