An acerbic wit and and astute observations dominate the poems in A Riderless Horse, the latest collection by Palmerston North wordsmith, Tim Upperton.
Tim's two previous poetry collections were A House on Fire and The Night We Ate the Baby.
He's a three-time winner of the Caselberg International Poetry Competition, and he's both a creative writing teacher and landscape gardener.
Most of the poems in A Riderless Horse have had an earlier life, having been seen in a range of publications.
But Tim tells Lynn Freeman he's reworked most of them for this collection.
A Riderless Horse by Tim Upperton is published by Auckland University Press.
