A poem told through the eyes, or keys, of an abandoned piano... fallen angels... forgotten women... and an astronaut - all feature in Cantabrian Joanna Preston's second poetry collection, tumble.
She uses a variety of poetic techniques, from traditional short forms to expansive free verse.
Joanna's first collection The Summer King won two prizes - the inaugural Kathleen Grattan Award for Poetry and the 2010 Mary Gilmore Award.
She's also a busy editor of poetry anthologies and magazines.
Before talking to Lynn Freeman, Joanna reads a poem from her new collection.
tumble by Joanna Preston is published by Otago University Press.
