Notes
"Nicola Easthope's poems touch on travel, teaching, nature, love and family. The structure of this first collection echoes the life-path of the gannet/takapu - flying off for many years, finally to return to its birth colony to make a family. With roots in the Orkney Islands, Scotland, England and Wales, Nicola was born in London and grew up in Wellington. Since high school she has been active in campaigns for social justice, peace and the environment, working for Greenpeace Aotearoa for a number of years. Nicola also spent ten years teaching English and Social Studies. She is currently the Kapiti Enviroschools facilitator and lives with her partner and daughter on the Kapiti Coast."--Publisher's description.
