Kerrin P Sharpe
Kerrin P Sharpe’s first book, three days in a wishing well, was published by Victoria University Press in 2012. A group of her poems also appeared in Oxford Poets 13 (Carcanet). A second book, there’s a medical name for this, was published by Victoria University Press in 2014. At present she is completing her third collection, rabbit rabbit, with the assistance of a Creative New Zealand grant.
Sharpe comments: ‘Anyone who goes to war does so with certain expectations. But what does the war horse think will happen? The poem led me into another area as well namely, that even in death the horse remains a powerful symbol of suffering and courage.’
