Illustrations for poetry collection by Colin Pink (Wreck of the Jeanne Gougy)

During 2020, I collaborated with Colin Pink on a second collection, producing 12 woodcuts in response to his poems. The collection was published by Paekakeriki Press in September 2021 as an individually numbered limited edition of 250. They may be ordered direct from the publisher here, 

The collection hinges around an eponymous epic poem which relates the human cost of a fishing tragedy off Cornwall in 1962. It includes twelve sonnets and ten triolets, reflecting Colin's interest in formal poetic structures, though the subject matter and treatment is anything but. "Love, death, disaster and politics!" is how Colin sometimes summarises his work.
